Albinen belongs to the inventory of sites of national importance that are worthy of protection. It is well preserved as a compact cluster of old Valais wooden houses in the center, the narrow and narrow streets between the houses form a real labyrinth. Right in the middle, the modern church from the 1960s dominates the picture, but inside it is unfortunately very gloomy. In the outskirts of the village there are newer buildings, which unfortunately do not harmonize at all and only stand around clumsily in the area.
