Saint Christina's parish church

The church dedicated to St. 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 Kastelruth, while the Last Supper relief on the northern choir wall (1855) is from the Gröden sculptor Peter Nocker.

St Jakob's church

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.
