St. Virgil Parish Church

A first church was built in Rattenberg towards the end of the 13th century, with the first documentary evidence dating back to 1299.
The current structure was built starting in 1473 under the master builders Christian Nickinger and Jörg Steyrer. The special feature of the church is that it has two fully functional naves, the Bürger nave in the north and the Knappen nave in the south.

While the exterior has retained its late Gothic appearance, the interior underwent a complete redesign in Baroque style around the end of the first third of the 18th century. The stucco work was carried out by Anton and Augustin Gigl as well as Engelmund Lambs, while the ceiling paintings were done by Simon Benedikt Faistenberger and Matthäus Günther. The high altar in the Bürger nave features Saint Virgil depicted by Jakub Zanusi. The accompanying figures are the work of Martin Waldner. The high altar in the Knappen nave is also adorned with a painting by Jakub Zanusi, prominently featuring Saint Anne. The accompanying figures are works by Meinrad Guggenbichler. Additionally, the altar of the Knappen nave contains a relic of Saint Virgil in a contemporary container.

At the back, in the area of the gallery staircase, is the Notburga chapel, while a Lourdes grotto flanks the staircase leading down to the town.
