The baroque pilgrimage church to the "Holy Cross", popularly known as the "Talkirche", was consecrated in 1716; the previous building was first mentioned around 1360. According to a legend, its construction goes back to the vows of two farmers. They are said to have been surprised by a violent storm while they were harvesting and found themselves in an extremely dangerous situation with their heavily laden vehicle. Frightened, they promised to build a chapel to Our Lady in the valley if they returned home safely with animals and wagon.
