The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Mauritius in Worndorf is a baroque church built in 1740 and consecrated to St. Mauritius . In 1988 it was renovated under the responsibility of the Archbishop's Building Authority in Constance. However, in 2008 it had to be renovated and conserved again due to construction defects. The 15 by 10 meter stucco ceiling in the nave shows the martyrdom of the church saint. It has a calf hair background from the Baroque period.
