history

A chapel was built in 1636 about 40 meters north-west of today's chaplain’s house and consecrated in 1663 and made an expositur in 1711. The chapel was enlarged in 1738 and 1767 and demolished in 1851 due to the danger of avalanches. Today's church was built by Josef Häusle on a hill in the north of the village in 1851 and consecrated in 1855. Baad was the curate between 1788 and 1879, and since then has been the branch office again. In 1905 and from 1971 to 1972 the church was restored.

architecture

The south-facing nave with a retracted choir under a shared gable roof has a bell tower with an onion dome over the choir.

Furnishing

The altars and pews are by Gottlieb Riezler from Hirschegg.

The altarpiece of the main altar, which depicts St. Martin and was created by Franz Xaver Bobleter (1800–1869), is particularly worth seeing . On the left and right of the main altar there are two older figures dating from around 1670: on the left the “Walser saint” St. Theodul (formerly Bishop of Valais), on the right St. Barbara .

The side altars show Maria (left altar) and Wendelin (right altar). They are works by Melchior Paul von Deschwanden (1811–1881) and date from 1856. The cross with three putti on the ceiling above the transition to the choir is from the beginning of the 18th century.

organ

The organ was built in 1802 and bought by the church in Mittelberg in 1886.
