Old parish church of Saint Ulrich
First parish church in the village
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.
