Kirche St. Georg in Ernen, Switzerland, is a late Gothic church originally constructed in the 15th century. Significant renovations occurred in the 17th century following damage from an avalanche, resulting in its current Baroque features alongside the remaining Gothic elements. The church contains notable examples of Valais woodcarving and painting from the period. Its acoustics are considered particularly well-suited to chamber music performances due to its relatively modest size and resonant interior. The church serves as a parish church for the local community but also hosts occasional cultural events, leveraging its historical importance and architectural qualities. The building is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
