The church, surrounded by a well-maintained cemetery, stands elevated on a slope on the western edge of the clustered village. Since 1790, it has been connected to the two-story baroque rectory by a high-level, architecturally charming connecting passage. There was probably a church in Arzl in ancient times. In 1358, the consecration of a choir, altars, and a cemetery was reported. However, Arzl has only been an independent parish since 1891 (formerly connected with Imst). Between 1750 and 1758, the old late Gothic church was enlarged and furnished in Baroque style. In 1836, the Gothic spire was removed from the tower, which dated from the mid-15th century, and replaced with a beautiful onion-shaped dome. The ceiling frescoes were painted by the artist Emanuel Raffeiner. They depict the Coronation of Mary and the portraits of Saints Ingenuin and Albuin in the choir vault, the Annunciation of Mary in the choir arch, and the Adoration of the Infant Jesus by shepherds and kings in the nave. The altar figures and the reliefs on the basket sides of the pulpit were carved by Nikolaus Krabacher from Häselgehr. The colorful church windows are also interesting - especially the 2nd window on the right. It shows the famous STEFAN KRISMER, also known as STÖFFELE - known both as a pastor and as a freedom fighter during the year 1809. The Arzl parish church owes its magnificent church nativity scene to Johann Schnegg. The mortuary chapel, which stands directly in the cemetery, is also worth seeing.
