In honour of the founder of the Consortium for the irrigation of the soil of the apple-plateau Natz-Schabs, Jakob Auer, called “Flötscher”, a fountain with his bust was built on the main square of Natz in 1983. details

The parish church of the Saints Philip and Jacob in late-Gothic style has been consecrated 1208 by the prince-bishop Konrad in honour of the Saints Philip and Walpurga. From the names of the present patrons of the church we can conclude that there was a rebuilding and once again a consecration. The steeple is made of many rectangular stone blocks. On the neo-Gothic high altar there are wooden sculptures dated 1470, which are attributable to a wood carver of the tradition of the South Tyrolean artist Michael Pacher. details

In Schabs we find the late-Gothic parish church of Saint Margaret, which was consecrated in 1281, but the construction was finished only in 1454. Reconstruction into the baroque style of the interior of the church was undertaken at the end of the 18th century. Striking is the portal, which is quadrilateral and framed with stones. On its upper part there are three cartouches of marble. The side chapel is known for the interesting painting it contains. Admirable is also the unusually high and slender steeple (72 m). details

To the municipality of Schabs belongs also the so-called “Urlaubsstöckl”, which is situated on the southern slope of Mount Spinges. This simple pilgrimage chapel was built by the curate Georg Stocker in 1641. The “Urlaubsstöckl” (the German expression Urlaub means ‘holidays’) was certainly not built by holidaymakers; the name is related to a painting in the interior of the chapel, which represents the parting of Christ from Mother Mary. Starting in Schabs, the chapel can be reached on an easy path with a breathtaking view.Sightseeing in Raas details
