This church in hütten was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) have the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints calendar is September 29th.
