Church of st. Stephen

The imposing late-Baroque church with classicist and rococo details and impressive frescoes was built in 1777. It is dedicated to St. Stephen, the patron saint of horses, which suggests the economic importance of these draught animals in this area during the period when transportation by means of horsedrawn carts was in full swing.


See the rich and beautiful interior features of the church and make sure to take a look at the tombstone of the Nicoletti family built into the outer church wall. You will learn more about the family on the next stop of the town trail.
