One of the valley’s most beautiful churches is dedicated to St. Bartholomew, the Baroque parish and pilgrimage church in Bartholomäberg. The foundation stone for this house of worship was laid on 26 May 1729 by parish priest Johann Franz Marent. The festive consecration was performed on 6 June 1743 by Bishop Benedikt von Rost from Chur. Bartholomäberg was the first parish in the Montafon around the year 1100. The oldest and most valuable art treasure of the church is the Roman processional cross from the year 1150. A duplicate is on display in Bartholomäberg parish church.
