The church in Welitsch, under the patronage of St. Anne, looks back on a long history. Probably built around 1350, it was first documented in 1520. Older bells in the tower bear the dates 1501 and 1519.
After a fire in 1685, a new church dedicated to St. Anne was built around 1700. The church received its present appearance through a new building between 1775 and 1777.
For many centuries, the simple sandstone church also served as a fortified church. It was previously only accessible via a footbridge, and the last remnants of the moat were only filled in 1968 with the construction of the memorial.
Inside the church is a remarkable altar of the 14 Holy Helpers with statuettes and a Stations of the Cross with 15 images. Today, St. Anne's Church is a branch church of the Sacred Heart Parish in Pressig. The patron saint’s festival is celebrated on the last Sunday in July together with the church consecration.
