The patron saint of the Roman Catholic parish church of Walchsee is Saint John the Baptist. A church was first documented here in 1399. The late Gothic church, with its 38-meter-high tower, was fundamentally altered in 1626 and remodeled from 1702 to 1704 according to the plans of master builder Martin Pockh. The church was renovated in the mid-19th century and from 1905 to 1908. The roof structure is home to the largest colony of bats in Tyrol. The greater mouse-eared bat is at home here.

Hiking
Directly behind the church is a large parking lot (fee applies, as is the case almost everywhere at Walchsee). From here, it's just a few steps to the village center. Alternatively, you can use the parking lot as a starting point for a walk to the "Schwemm" nature reserve, a moorland biotope.
