St Jakob's church
The oldest church in Gröden valley
St Jakob'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 St. 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 at St. Ulrich.
