Description

The church is open daily from 09.00 - 17.00.

The church of Sogn Stiafen was built at the beginning of the 16th century. As early as 1689 it was rebuilt and enlarged. It has a three-bay nave with two side chapels built in 1709 and a shallow choir. The side chapels only reach up to the main cornice. The side altars date from the period between 1710 and 1720. The bells are from Grassmayr, 18th century.

In 1595, the itinerant painter Hans Ardüser created the ten-part cycle of paintings on the north wall of the church about the life of Mary. To the left of the pulpit, these are: 1. The Assumption into Heaven 2. The Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel 3. The Nativity Scene 4. Adoration by the Three Wise Men 5. The 12-year-old Jesus in the temple 6. The resurrection of Christ and the 7th outpouring of the Holy Spirit. To the right of the pulpit follow the 8th Mary visits Elizabeth and the 9th coronation of Mary in heaven. There are 10 more in the second row. The apostles Peter, Andrew and Paul.

The view into the choir with the three altars (5), which were built at the beginning of the 18th century, offers pure baroque pleasure. The curved pediment of the main altar with God the Father and the angels is special.

The two-storey ossuary in the cemetery depicts the Mother of God between Stephen and Mauritius; purgatory is indicated underneath.
