History and equipment
The church was built at the end of the 15th century and placed under the patronage of St. Margaret of Antioch . The Fex valley accepted the Reformation as early as 1522 , so that the sacred building became a Reformed preaching church . The frescoes fell victim to the iconoclasm and were completely covered with a top layer. They were only exposed and restored in the 20th century.
