After the tolerance patent was issued in 1781, all the residents of Techendorf reported as Protestant. On October 6, 1782, Johann Gottfried Gotthard, the pastor of Weißbriach, held the first service in the newly built house of prayer.
description
The church is a neo-Gothic building that Giovanni Colombo built in 1900/03 based on the model of the church in Weißbriach. The church consists of a four-bay nave, a single-bay choir with a three-eighth end and a western entrance tower. A star rib vault rises above the nave. The windows in the chancel with scenes from the life of Jesus Christ were designed by Erika Wolf-Rubenser in 1991.
The altar and the pulpit were probably created in 1904 by Carl Zundler. The elaborately carved altar with pinnacles above the side parts shows the risen Christ on the altar sheet.
