The church features notable frescoes depicting scenes from the life of Saint George and other religious iconography dating from both the medieval and Baroque periods. It’s considered an important example of late Gothic and early Baroque architecture within the canton of Valais and serves as a focal point for the community of Ernen. The acoustic properties within the church are known to be favorable for musical performances due to its architectural design and materials.
