Saint Philomena
The plaster sculpture of St Philomena, with martyr's palm, whip, anchor, and arrows, was created by the sculptor Dominik Mahlknecht. Born in 1793 at Rainel farm in Überwasser, he emigrated to Paris at the age of 16, where he rose to the position of royal court sculptor. The original sculpture stands in the church of Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois in Paris, with a second copy at the fountain square in St. Ulrich, which was copied from the original plaster model in Museum Gherdëina.
