Description

The Parish Church of Saint Martin was first mentioned in 1425, although an earlier place of worship likely existed. The Baroque reconstruction of 1778 features frescoes by Johann Mitterwurzer depicting scenes from the life of the patron saint. Preserved Gothic elements include the sound windows of the tower and frescoes by Simon of Taisten. Additional artworks are attributed to Heinrich Kluibenschedl, Cosroe Dusi and Franz Xaver Nißl.
