Already striking due to its floor plan, the altar structure is really overwhelming when entering the church! In terms of size, it's almost a chapel with very few seats, but with a dominant altar 😮

The round church of Saas-Balen is certainly one of the most unusual baroque buildings in Switzerland, but it is still classified as being of national importance in the cultural heritage list. It was built in 1812.
