St. Cyriakus

St. Cyriakus stands in Germany as a compact hall church with a recessed choir and a striking tower. Its late-Gothic base carries an onion dome that shapes the village skyline. The site already served as a mother church in 1332, while the visible building developed around 1500. A Baroque remodelling in the mid-eighteenth century gave the interior its present character. Altars, a pulpit, wooden furnishings and canvas paintings fill the space.

Franz Martin Kuen created surviving paintings for the high altar. Karl Manninger renewed the ceiling pictures in Rococo style during 1974 and painted the south-entry sundial in 1978. A double west gallery gives the small church an unusual two-tiered rhythm. At the high altar, a small angel performs an unusual task that local visitors especially enjoy noticing. Repairs to the roof frame and choir arch followed structural investigations, and a diocesan service marked the church’s reopening in 2025.
