The first record of a church on this spot dates back to 824, but that was a different church belonging to the Saint Denis monastery in Paris. The current late gotic catholic church has been renovated several times since 1212. The Roman bell tower is from that time. The main entrance is made of wood in baroque style and dates around 1700. The church construction was finished in 1503. The altar carved out of wood is from the 17th century. But in 1902-04 all the baroque style has been taken out and replaced by neogotic style. Only the door is left. The pulpit can now be seen in the Santa Maria church. The gotic windows are in the vault of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich. The last renovation with major redecorations was in 1987 after the big flood which covered the whole town with dirt and rubble.
