The bishops of Augsburg founded a village around the old church of Saint Ulrich. This parish church was situated at the graveyard, as mentioned in records from 1342, but it is quite a bit older than that. The building, close to collapse, was pulled down in the 1790s and a new parish church was built on land between the two farmhouses Pana and Ortiseit, where there was a second village centre. At the end of the 18th century, both village centres merged together, reflected in today's village names of St. Ulrich/Ortisei/Urtijëi.

There has been a church on this spot since the 13th century, and the Romanesque core of the tower was added to it. In 1555, this tower was replaced by a new one, which was lengthened towards the west and had baroque features added. The frescoes in the church, on the tower and at the cemetery chapel painted by J. Jenewein date back to the same time. The Austrian painter Jenewein died in 1745 from a fall off the scaffolding while painting the church in Bulla. The spire was mounted in 1855.

Records from 1517 mention a new construction that was extended in 1678. The church was newly built in 1872 after plans by Cyprian Pescosta, the priest in Bulla at the time. The features come from altar builders from Val Badia valley and sculptors from Ortisei. In 1988, the nave was replaced with a new, larger construction. The old tower was kept in place.

The church dedicated to Saint Christina was first mentioned in 1342, and its foundation was in Freising. The fraternity altar from the early 18th century was created by the Vinazer brothers, and the baroque high altar is by the sculptor Trebinger. The current panel painting from 1848 originates from Johann Burgauner of Castelrotto, while the Last Supper relief on the northern choir wall (1855) is from the Val Gardena sculptor Peter Nocker.

Saint Jacob's church is assumed to be the oldest church in the valley and is thought to have been built by the lords of Stetteneck around 1200. It was first mentioned in records in 1246. The dedication of the church to Saint Jacob, guardian of travellers, is due to the fact that it lies on Troi Paian trade route. The church is equipped with local baroque sculptures, with the originals being stored in the museum.

There is a bronze-like 'Pietà' sculpture by L. Moroder from 1921 in the semi-enclosed construction with gabled roof featuring the names of soldiers fallen in both world wars written in plaques on both sides.

The Lourdes grotto features minerals from the Alpe di Siusi mountain pasture, the altarpieces come from Josef Moroder Lusenberg, and the sculptures from Val Gardena artists.

Saint Anna's church was built in gothic style in 1515 by the St. Anna fraternity, decorated in baroque style in the 18th century, and gained an additional tower in 1799. In 1982, the church was fully refurbished. The façade is adorned with a baroque fresco of the Madonna, the 18th-century altar comes from members of the Vinazer family, the 1859 altarpiece is by Josef Anton Mahlknecht from Oltretorrente.

In 1796, the new parish church was completed on land belonging to Panahof. The end of 1799 saw the consecration of the high altar by the Lombardy altar builder Stampa, which was to be replaced by a neo-Romanesque altar by J. Schneider in 1870. Due to an increase in population, a transept was added after plans by J. Rifesser da Stufan, while the sculptural features come from Val Gardena artists.
