Urschalling - St. Jakobus

The small hamlet of Urschalling belongs to Prien am Chiemsee. Located in its centre is St. Jakobus, the parish church. It was built end of the 11th century and later integrated into a fortified castle, that is long gone. Under a thick coat of paint frescoes from the 14th century were discovered.

When these got renovated in the 1940s, another layer of frescoes was discovered below. These frescoes were even 200 years older.
