Here, where tradition has remained alive, old walls and chapels tell stories of past centuries.Historical roots – the origin of the countyTogether with the neighboring villages of Gluringen, Ritzingen, and Biel, Selkingen once formed the large parish of Münster, which was known as the "Viertel Grafschaft". This traditional name has been preserved to this day in the local dialect and stands for the strong cohesion of the region.Selkingen was first mentioned in a document in 1374 as "Villa de Selgingen" – evidence of the village's long history, which has preserved its original character to this day.Traces of the past – from Rotten to the Antonius chapelIn the past, Selkingen families also lived on the left side of the Rotten. However, the small hamlets of Sechshäusern and Zeiterdorf were abandoned over time – silent witnesses to a life in constant harmony with nature, but also in struggle against its forces.Above the village, the Antonius chapel stands, a moving symbol of protection against natural hazards such as avalanches and floods. It reminds us of the centuries-long connection between the villagers and their land and faith.Between nature and protection – lived responsibilityToday, Selkingen sets an example for safety and sustainability. The dam on the Walibach, which was built in 2003, reliably protects the village from the forces of water – a modern monument to the respectful interaction with the alpine nature.
