Evangelische Kirche Thalkirch

The church of Thalkirch was built with three altars. She also received the right of burial and baptism. Its late Gothic bells - cast in 1454 and 1457 - still call the faithful to prayer today. The baptismal font, wreathed with a gnarled branch, dates from 1503.

At the consecration of the church in 1441, Bishop Heinrich von Hewen established the feast of the consecration of the church on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on 15 August. To this day, the Safians celebrate the Thaler-Chilbi on a weekend in August.

The Safians, although they led a hard and barren life, looked to their churches. In 1757 a massive renovation of the church took place. The choir was vaulted and larger windows were installed. The nave received a new wooden ceiling, and the closed vestibule was added.

Of the earlier late Gothic windows, a fish-bladder tracery on the lower Turrahus further into the valley is still preserved.

Until about 1850, the church was covered with shingles. Then it was decided to use green slate slabs, which were hewn near the church.
