building

An abandoned castle of the Lords of Leuterschach, first mentioned in 1289, is located around 500 meters south of the church of Leuterschach near Ronried.
The parish church of St. Johann Baptist was built around 1692/1693. The current church tower was built in 1727 according to plans by the well-known Baroque master builder Johann Georg Fischer . In 1737 the church was re-stuccoed and frescoed. The ceiling fresco in the nave is by Johann Martin Zick (1684–1753) and shows the beheading of John the Baptist . Further church renovations took place in 1950 and 1992/1993.
The rectory in Leuterschach from 1762 comes from Franz Xaver Kleinhans .
The church of St. Magnus is first mentioned as a chapel at the end of the 15th century. A lively pilgrimage developed from the legend that St. Magnus von Füssen (Sankt Mang), the “Apostle of the Ostallgäu”, took a rest near the chapel on his way from Füssen to Kempten . Therefore, the church was enlarged in 1681. In the first third of the 18th century it received its baroque interior. Since 2010 it has been completely renovated in several construction phases due to severe damage.

The Kindle chapel is located on a hill a little outside of Leuterschach in the direction of Ettwiesen.
