Igreja Bruder Klaus Schwarzsee

At the beginning of the 20th century, religion was characterized by a strong belief in authority, and the population was very attached to the Catholic faith. In the Schwarzseetal, the believers had three chapels at their disposal. However, the valley community wanted more and more a church. In 1930 the Plaffeien Parish Council received an application to consider building a church with a rectory in Schwarzsee.

With a legacy from Leo Offner in 1938, who appointed the parish of Plaffeien as the main heir with the determination of the construction of a Catholic church in the Schwarzseetal, the first financial cornerstone for the construction was planned. But it needed other patrons and countless helpers to realize the church building. Long discussions and meetings were necessary to determine the location.

The canonization of Brother Klaus at this time made it easier to determine the patron saint of the church. However, it took a full 36 years until the Brother Klaus Church at Schwarzsee was inaugurated in 1966.

Modern designed church near Schwarzsee.

Beautiful architecture typical of the 1960s.
