Posted by mt on 23 March 2009

The small sanctuary of St. Alban stands on a hill near Görwangs near Aitrang in the Allgäu. From there, we not only have a beautiful view over the landscape, but the Church has something to offer for the eyes.

The church is popular with wedding couples because of their numerous decorations. The church is consecrated to the Holy St. Alban, which contributed to the legend after his execution, his own head to the tomb. This scene is also represented on the lushly decorated coffered ceiling.

The church was built around 1510 and belonged to the monastery of St. Mang in Füssen. Between 1697 and 1704 it was rebuilt in 1895 and collapsed in the former West Tower.
