What see
Parish Church of San Giuseppe
- Parish church of Prince Josef Wenzel. From 1767-1769 its own parish was built in Triesenberg, consisting of a single nave and a closed choir. The bell tower consists of an onion tower. In 1938, the old parish church was decommissioned, but a lot of furniture was preserved and one of the bells was moved to the Peace Chapel in Malbun.
- Walser culture museum. The museum illustrates the life of the Walser immigrants who settled here in the 13th century, the history of the parish also illustrates the customs and traditions of the community. Affiliated to the Museum is a traditional old house that reflects the living culture of the time some 400 years ago.
Peace Chapel in Malbun
- Parish Church of San Giuseppe. In the years 1938-1940, the new church was built on the site where the previous parish church was demolished. The church faces north-east and stands on a raised terrace in the center of Triesenberg. Like the old parish church, an onion was built on the tower on the new one. The church has five bells, built with the merger of the previous four.
- Chapel of S. Maria (In Masescha).
- Chapel of St. Wendelin and Martin (In Steg, in the village basin). The chapel dates back to 1817 and was enlarged in the following years. After a devastation caused by a storm in 1830, the church was restored and enlarged again. In the years 1906/1907, the chapel was extensively remodeled until it took on its current appearance.
