The church was built from 1822 to 1824 according to plans by Christoph Arnold in the Weinbrenner style by master mason Alois Meißburger from Kenzingen in the then still independent village of Zähringen. It replaced a previous church on the site of today's Zähringen cemetery, whose patron was also St. Blaise. The church interior is kept simple. The baroque altars - a main altar and two side altars - come from dismantled Freiburg monasteries. The statue of the church patron from the 18th century was taken from the previous church. What is striking is the ceiling painting, which extends across the entire ceiling surface. It depicts the heavenly Jerusalem opening up to heaven in illusion painting. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Blasius_(Freiburg)
