History and equipment

Today's Porteiner Church was built in 1723 as a successor to the medieval church building consecrated under the patronage of St. Gallus . After years of washing under the foundation, it fell into the ravine. Today the remains of the building can still be seen on the top of the hill in front of the gorge, while the new church was moved into the village. The Porteiner Church is a hall church with only a hinted, square and slightly raised choir . In the center of this is a baptismal font , which also serves as a sacrament table. The pulpit without a sound cover is on the left, the harmonium , which replaces the organ , on the right.
