The town's spiritual landscape includes the 16th-century Capuchin Monastery of St. Klara and several specialized chapels, such as the historic Galgenkapelle and the hillside Lourdesgrotte. These sites range from grand Baroque architecture to modest pilgrimage stations scattered throughout the valley.
