Religious heritage in Sarsko

The local church is dedicated to Saint Rupert and belongs to the Parish of Ig. It was a Romanesque building of which the nave survives. The nave was extended with a Gothic sanctuary and belfry. In the 17th century it was refurbished in the Baroque style.[3]

South of the church, along the main road to Ig, and just north of the village core, is an open chapel-shrine. It dates from the end of the 19th century and contains a crucifix.[4]
