Even before 1900 summer visitors from Germany and neighboring countries came to Bühl. In October 1899 a beautification association was founded there (later renamed the tourist association).

Chapels in the parish

  • Chapel of St. Cyprian in Gschwend: The first chapel in Gschwend was consecrated in 1734. In 1948 this church was demolished, and at the same time the altar from the old chapel in Ratholz with a temple corridor of St. Family performing painting was destroyed. In the same year, today's wooden structure was erected at a place a little west of the former location. The inauguration took place in August 1948. The bell cast in 1732 and a statue of the Virgin Mary from the late 15th century are particularly significant, while a Sebastian mentioned in 1939 and the two wooden figures of St. Rochus and St. Cyprian no longer exist. The latter were stolen on the night of November 13-14, 1993.
  • Chapel of St. Martin in Ratholz: After the plans of the Thalkirchdorf master carpenter Joseph Anton Keck had been approved, the construction of the chapel of St. Martin in Ratholz was carried out in the summer of 1871 at the local people's own expense. In autumn one only waited for the consent of the episcopal ordinariate in Augsburg, then on November 28, 1871 the solemn inauguration of the chapel in honor of Saints Wendelin and Martin could take place. After a large-scale renovation in 1983/84, another repair was also completed in 2007. On the neo-Gothic altar from the time it was built there are primarily wooden figures of the two church patrons. Also noteworthy are a late 16th century St. Sebastian from the Bühler Stephanuskirche, as well as a bell from 1685 from the demolished Wendelin chapel with the coat of arms of the Königsegg rule. A picture of the Annunciation by the Bühl-born painter Johann Georg Grimm, which is still attested in 1939, has been lost.
  • Marienkapelle in Reuter: So far there is no reliable knowledge of the origins of the chapel in Reuter. The current building dates from the 19th century, in earlier times the little church is said to have stood further down the mountain. In the chapel there are in particular statuettes that come from the pulpit of St. Stephen's Church in Bühl, which was destroyed in 1953. The chapel was originally dedicated to Wendelin, the patron of the cattle. In the period after the Second World War, the name “Marienkapelle” became common.
  • Chapel of St. Sebastian in Trieblings: It is generally assumed that the original chapel by Trieblings was built in 1791, because this date was found in an oak lintel of the church. The Immenstadt parish priest received permission for consecration at the same time as the permit for a trade fair on November 27, 1798. In 1933, the chapel was finally rebuilt, although care was taken that the building corresponded to the old shape. In Trieblings, the saint of the plague, Sebastian, is venerated, for example in the altar panel from 1894, which is integrated into a late 18th century Rococo altar.
  • St. Leonhard Chapel in Zaumberg: Zaumberg was mentioned as early as 1090 as a property belonging to the Weingarten Monastery. Even under Weingarten rule, a first chapel was supposedly built between 1432 and 1444 in honor of Mary and Saints Leonhard, Agatha, Johannes and Paul . After another chapel, presumably the successor to the late medieval church, had been demolished, a new building was built in another location in 1790, today's St. Leonhard Chapel. The painting as part of a restoration in 1885 goes back to the Zaumberg brothers Alois and Andreas Schmid, who were both important theologians of their time and were considered patrons of the chapel. Some of the figures in the Zaumberg church are significant from an art-historical point of view, such as a standing Mother of God with a crescent moon, St. Agatha and St. Leonhard, all three of which date from around 1470/80 and which A. Miller considered the most attractive achievements of Allgäu art Late Gothic.
