Parish church of St Peter and Paul

The Catholic parish church of St Peter and Paul in Andermatt, which replaced the church of St Kolumban as the parish church in 1606, is the most important place of worship in the Ursern Valley. At the end of the 17th century, the baroque architect Bartholomäus Schmid extended the church, which has impressed with its magnificent interior ever since. The main altar was created by the renowned Valais sculptor Johannes Ritz, while the baroque chapel of St Michael was built as an ossuary in 1640. St Peter and Paul is considered one of the most important places of worship in the canton of Uri and impresses with its extremely rich interior decoration.
