History of St. Nikolaus and its churchyard

What gives the site its historical character?

St. Nikolaus is a Baroque church built in 1758 on an older foundation. The protected ensemble includes the cemetery and its 18th-century enclosing wall. The churchyard is therefore both a burial place and part of Etterschlag’s historic village setting.
