It is astonishing that the small community of Ligerz built such a large church. Apparently in 1417 the inhabitants of Schafis, Ligerz and Kleintwann were allowed to build their own chapel. However, in 1482 a large pilgrimage church was built, which was equipped with relics from Rome to attract believers on pilgrimages. The old pilgrimage route through the vineyards also leads right past it. So there was already a business sense in the old days.

Who doesn't know "the Ligerz Church"? After a stroll through the vineyards, visitors arrive at the late Gothic building and realize it's a church the size of Biel's city church.

How did a community like Ligerz come to have such a large church?

In 1417, the inhabitants of Schafis, Ligerz, and Kleintwann were granted permission to build their own chapel.

In 1482, the small church was replaced by a large pilgrimage church, which, endowed with relics from Rome and a special indulgence granted by 15 cardinals, became a major attraction for the faithful.
