Tall bronze-topped bell towers have
led people to the church since it was built in 1909. The building
style is largely Romanesque (note the rounded arches of the
windows and doors, and the barrel vaults of the nave), but the bell
tower cupolas are influenced more by German Renaissance style, exhibiting
asymmetric octagons with slimmer corner sections. The cupolas are characteristic
of bell towers common to the Alpine regions of Europe.
