Kirche Hl. Anna

The Catholic branch church of St Anna stands just south of Thüringen’s village centre in the Rhine valley, opposite the music middle school. A single-naved building with a three-sided eastern choir, it is set under one continuous roof with its three-storey tower. The church is listed as a monument and belongs to the parish of Thüringen in the Walgau-Walsertal deanery of the Diocese of Feldkirch.

Built in 1509 by master mason Kaspar Schop, the church replaced an earlier 15th-century chapel to the same patron. The tower’s lowest stage still shows a Romanesque sound opening, while the upper octagon with its onion dome and clock faces was added in the 17th century. Inside, a plain barrel vault rises above a profiled cornice, and the chancel is covered by a net-ribbed Gothic vault. The high altar dates from 1642–44, the side altars from 1690, and the Serpentine stone altar was created by Herbert Meusburger.

A small cemetery lies fenced on the south side, with an urn wall added in 1989. The tower houses four bells, the oldest a tiny Gothic bell from 1509, and the organ by Johann Martin Anwander, installed in 1819, is currently silent. Fresco fragments, blocked Gothic windows and traces of original red-and-grey wall painting remain visible throughout the interior.
