history

The Holderbank church appears in the sources for the first time in 1275. The collage has always belonged to the Wildegg lordship . The Bernese architect Samuel Jenner built the simple hall church with roof turrets and baroque portal from 1701 to 1702.

Furnishing

In the choir there were several grave slabs belonging to the Effinger family . The panels are now distributed on the walls. A late Gothic baptismal font from around 1475 bears Christ as the Man of Sorrows, Mary and another saint, as well as the Bernese family coats of arms from Ballmoos, von Holz and von Buchsee.
