Guided Tour of the Parish Church of Saas-Balen

Description

If you compare the parish church of Saas-Balen with the round church facing it, the contrasts could not be greater. This (new) church dates from a completely different era and was already, in the 1950s, very ahead of its time and of common church constructions. Even today, it has not lost its charm, as the larger-than-life and impressive works of the Saas artist Werner Zurbriggen present condensed biblical stories to the extreme, while offering an immeasurable margin of interpretation. The theologian and historian Stefan Dominik Furrer takes you on an exploratory journey during which you will discover, among other things, these milestones of art.
A small gift is included in the visit. Date: every day on request
