Old parish church St. Genesius.                                                         

The renovated chapel hut dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows in St. Sigmund was built in 1621 and expanded in 1644. The new construction is considered one of the most charming devotional spaces of the Baroque period. Great attention was paid to detail. The nave is covered by a dome, while the altar area is finished with a cross vault. The Stations of the Cross are copper engravings by Franz Xaver Endres from Augsburg. The miraculous image on the high altar is a Pietà set in an open landscape, flanked by Joachim and Anna, dating from the late 15th century. The ceiling paintings were created by Josef Anton Zoller. Beneath the dome, the four Evangelists are depicted, while scenes from the Book of Esther are shown in the dome itself. In the altar area, the three divine virtues—Faith, Hope, and Charity—are displayed, complemented by Courage.

This chapel was built in 1993 at a very tranquil place at the foot of the "Sas Dlacia" behind the camping area. It is dedicated to the Madonna of Lourdes.

For a long time, the entire religious life of the valley revolved around the church of La Pli/Pieve Marebbe. Once the most important house of prayer in the valley, records state that since the appointment of one Marquardus as the first pastor in 1214, Marebbe has always had its own resident pastor. Records dating back to 1347 list the church as the "parish church of the Virgin Mary of Marebbe".

Today, it is a grand four-naved Baroque church with a particularly beautiful wooden high altar, skilfully carved in Renaissance style in 1636 – at a time when the Black Death raged through the valleys. The centre features a statue of St. Mary of Graces. Both for the population of the Badia valley and many pilgrims from the Pusteria valley, this picturesque temple remains a well-loved and much-visited place of pilgrimage.
