Heavenly Frescoes and Stories of Faith: Churches and Chapels in Überlingen – St. Jodok Church

Experience the St. Jodok Church in the Überlingen "village," a charming late Gothic little church located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. During our tour of this small pilgrimage church, you will immerse yourself in the significant history of the house of worship and get to know its namesake, Jodok, more closely. The church was founded in 1424 by Burkhart Hipp, a citizen of Überlingen, and consecrated in 1462. It served as a place of worship for the district predominantly inhabited by vineyard workers. Discover the art-historically valuable frescoes from the second half of the 15th century, including the fascinating "Miracle of the Chickens or Gallows of St. James" as well as the "Legend of the Three Living and the Three Dead."
