Sights in Plaus

Among the sights of the village there is the wonderful old fountain in the centre beneath a giant, protected maple tree.

The modern, simple church dedicated to St. Monica was consecrated in 2017. It is accessed via a huge cross made of white marble. The historical church is dedicated to St. Ulrich, right next to it. With a Romanesque tower, the Gothic nave and the two Baroque paintings by artist Simon Ybertracher from Vinschgau are worth a visit too.

A worth-seeing rarity is located directly in front of the churches near the cemetery wall: the dance of death of Plaus. Artist Luis Stefan Stecher has painted 18 impressive scenes on a length of 36 m. The scenes show figures of the pasts and present as well as celebrities of the region and are decorated with verses in the local dialect.
