    Walser church, risen from the ashes

    The pointed-gabled church tower with its slender nave on a green meadow, surrounded by ravines in the middle of the wide valley of Schröcken, paints a true picture of the idyll. Nothing reminds us of the catastrophe of 1863, when the church, which had been consecrated in 1639 and subsequently expanded and restored several times, was quickly reduced to rubble and ashes. The fire started in the "Ochsen" inn, and the neighboring school and sexton's house and the rectory were also destroyed by the flames. With Walser craftsmanship and energy, all the buildings were quickly rebuilt, and in 1867 the parish church of "Our Lady of Mary" was ceremoniously re-consecrated. No less magnificent than its predecessor, the richly decorated sacred building invites you to take a detailed tour today.
