A beautiful church from the outside. Unfortunately we were fleeing the rain and couldn't take the time to take a closer look.

It is worth making a detour to the small church above Ludesch, the construction of which dates back to the early Middle Ages. Nice view and interesting insights (Photo: Ossuary)

St. Anna Church, Thuringia There was a church on the edge of the forest in the Thuringian Au before 1480. This is also reflected in the tower, the oldest component, which has double-arched, Romanesque sound openings walled up to the outside. On July 26, 1509, the Bishop of Chur consecrated a new late Gothic church with three altars. In addition to venerating St. Anna, the population also hoped for protection from the floods of Lutz and Ill. Casper Schop is clearly identified as the builder above the choir arch. From this construction phase the choir room, both entrance doors and two “St. Annaselbdritt” (as a late Gothic group of figures and as a fresco above the side entrance) can still be admired today. Even the smallest bell from the 1509 bell still does its job, but in the tower of the Thuringian parish church of St. Stephan. The craftsmen's guild founded in 1629 (today the Oberer Walgau craftsmen's guild) chose the St. Anna Church as their guild church and still celebrates their annual guild fair there today. Due to the heavy pilgrimage, the nave was lengthened by a third at the end of the 17th century and given a Baroque style. The 200-year affiliation of the “Blumeneggisches” with the Weingarten Monastery was also reflected in the new church furnishings. Three new baroque altars, a pulpit, a stucco ceiling, the pews that are still preserved today, a gallery and the elevation of the church tower in baroque style gave the church a completely new look. Particularly noteworthy is the high altarpiece, which was created in 1640 by the Genoese artist Giulio Benso. The rose tendrils with the rosary mysteries that were later added to the main altar can probably be traced back to the Rosary Brotherhood, which existed in St. Anna since 1627. The dates 1781 and 1848 above the main entrance report on further construction activities. With the decline in pilgrimages, the church sank into a “Sleeping Beauty” sleep in the last century. As a result, it has been preserved as a gem. Since the restoration (1990 to 1993), the St. Anna Church has once again shone in its full beauty.
