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.

Very nice church with great views and one of our favorite picnic areas. Dürrenmatt got married there.
