The Catholic parish church was built in 1653 and replaces the previous construction from 1496. The front is decorated with a fresco by St. Christopher. Witnesses of the old cemetery are various plaques on the side of the church facing the valley.

The current parish church of Brontallo was built in the 17th century, but it is of much older origin. A church dedicated to St. George is mentioned as early as 1496. A gigantic Saint Christopher is emblazoned on the facade. The two stucco side chapels are dedicated to the Madonna of the Rosary and the Holy Cross. The main altar in the polygonal choir dates from the 18th century.
