The Filialkirche, dedicated to St. Nikolaus, can be found in one of Kirchberg’s outlying villages, Winkl. The church is an early Gothic building dating from the first half of the 14th century, probably based on an older structure, which was renovated in 1865. The building was historically prone to flooding and, when action was taken to remedy the structural damage caused over the ages, the builders made the extraordinary discovery of rare 13th century wall paintings hidden in the roof space over the nave. These paintings have been carefully restored and preserved.
