Culture and sights
Parish Church Bürs: In 1347 the first church was built here and around 1480 a new building was erected, of which the choir is still preserved. This Gothic building of the 15th century was baroqueized in 1768 and after a fire in 1843 the nave was added and extended. The high altar is a neo-Gothic construction (1886) with parts of the former late-Gothic winged altar from 1480. The Stations of the Cross were made by Josef Anton Bertle from Schruns (1846).
Parish Church of Mary, Queen of Peace (Peace Church). This church in the settlement area in the west of the village was built from 1968 to 1973 according to plans by Walter Moser.
In Bürs there are some remarkable Walgau houses and also old semi-detached houses as well as industrial buildings of the 19th century (spinning and weaving mill of the textile works Getzner as well as workers' housing).
Rosenegg Castle: This medieval castle complex was built in the middle of the 13th century. During the Appenzeller War, the castle was destroyed in 1405 and subsequently rebuilt. However, it fell into disrepair before 1600. Between 1898 and 1900, the keep was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style and in 1939, a new reconstruction and extension took place.
Lünerseefabrik: The spinning mill is located at the entrance to the town, between Zimbapark and Lünerseepark. The building was constructed in 1836/38, extended in 1850 and 1856/57. This six-story industrial high-rise was home to the spinning and weaving mill of Getzner, Mutter & Cie until the 1980s, and the operation was shut down in 1985. Today, the building is listed as a historical monument. The facade design with 20 window axes on the long side and 4 on the short side corresponds to the simple industrial construction of the time - with smooth plaster surfaces and small baroque wooden windows. Today, an industrial park has been built on this site - the factory chimney has been preserved as an industrial signal and reinterpreted by a light installation by the artist Brigitte Kowanz.
