The highest church in the country was built in 1950/51 and was planned by the painter and architect Johannes Hugentobler, Appenzell. The simple, brick building blends in perfectly with the mountain backdrop of the Ochsenkopf massif behind it and blends in perfectly with the landscape. Hugentobler also created the colorful round choir window. Another special feature is the mosaic created by Prof. Josef Seger in 1962, a pictorial representation of the "Sennen-Ave".
