Sights in the municipality:
The church "Maria im Birnbaum", that is a pilgrimage place and was sacred to St. Jacob. The core comes from the Middle Ages. Its altar was built in earlier Baroque style. The church was rebuilt during the years 1744-49. Originally it used to be a Romanesque church with only one nave but in 1710 it was enlarged and rebuilt to Baroque style. During the restoration in 1998 the original entrance to the church was discovered. It comes from 1700 and it was probably the entrance to the tomb of aristocratic family of Walterskirchens. It was fixed and declassified.
