St. Maria Magdalena Church Milz

Highlight • Religious Site

Magdalene Church is located directly on the village street. The defensive nature of the entire ensemble, with its impressive church tower, moat, defensive wall, and a shed, is best appreciated when entering the churchyard from the west via the "Kirchbrückle" (church bridge). St. Mary Magdalene Church was built in 1520 by the master builders Hans and Valentin Schwarz. Approximately 400 years later, the galleries were added to the nave, and the entire sanctuary, with the exception of the north wall, was rebuilt. The five stained-glass windows in the sanctuary also date from this period; together with the friendly color scheme of the galleries, they give the church a warm ambiance.
