Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

The Tell Chapel, built in 1585, is located near the parish church and was built by the landowner Peter Gisler and Johan Scherer. It is located on the presumed site of Tell's house. The frescoes by Heinrich Gessner are a witness of a 16th century illustration: these frescoes are very valuable historically because they represent the myth of William Tell and the life of the Swiss hero.
