St. Bartholomäus
St. Bartholomäus is a cemetery chapel rebuilt as a compact Baroque hall in 1727, with a calm, low silhouette. Its tower was added in 1744 and later gained a pointed spire. Inside, a black wooden altar carries gilded acanthus, while devotional images occupy the mensa and space above the cornice. Konrad Huber painted the risen Saviour in spring 1830. The side walls preserve a Nazarene Stations of the Cross from around 1856, giving the small interior a focused devotional cycle. Anton Bischof painted John and Mary with Christ’s body around 1910. The mural appears on the eastern exterior wall of the tower, while interior epitaphs include memorials linked to the Fugger family. War memorial tablets from 1870 remain fixed to the north wall. Restoration campaigns shaped the chapel across the twentieth century, and it was reconsecrated on 23 June 1999. The building is recorded as wheelchair accessible, while its original furnishings are held in a museum fund.
