Parishchurch St. Jodok in Mittelberg

Not long after their settlement in the 13th century, the Mittelberger built their first place of worship. A stone with the year 1302 on the outside wall of the church in Mittelberg is considered as proof of existence of a small sacred building. 1391 saw the inauguration of the chapel, which was then raised to it's own independent Parish status - 1972 restoration of the fresco's on the walls (In the year 1374 the church steeple was built in 4. pieces. This is still evident from the outside of the 66m high tower).
