Churches and Building History in the Town
The Catholic parish church of St. James is Romanesque in its basic structure. Its defining architectural features include a choir closed on three sides and a north flank tower. The church was rebuilt in the Late Gothic style around 1418, given a Baroque makeover in 1796/97, and altered in 1903 by extending the nave. Its architectural history therefore comprises several clearly dated phases: from its Romanesque core through Late Gothic and Baroque alterations to the work carried out in the early 20th century.
The Catholic branch church of St. Nicholas and St. Sylvester has a different architectural character. This Baroque hall church has a strongly recessed apse and an attached eastern tower with a pointed helmet roof. The church was designed by Lorenz Sappel and dates from 1763. The tower was given a Romanesque Revival design in 1856. Comparing the two churches therefore offers a chance to consider different architectural forms and later changes: several renovation phases are documented at St. James, while at St. Nicholas and St. Sylvester, the Baroque design and the Romanesque Revival treatment of the tower stand out.
Nannhofen Castle in Nannhofen is part of the cultural context of the municipality. Built in 1752, it is a three-storey Baroque building with a hipped roof, eight bays by three, and a tower in the west façade. Jean Baptiste Métivier redesigned the castle in the Neoclassical style in 1840/48; the grounds also include an English landscape park dating from the 19th century. The castle's architectural history thus combines a Baroque design with a later Neoclassical transformation.
