Paul Troger, born in Welsberg in 1698, is among the great masters of Austrian Baroque painting. His signature “Troger Blue” remains iconic. In the Parish Church of St. Margareth, he gifted his hometown three major works (1738–1739): the main altarpiece and two side altar paintings depicting St. Margareth, St. George, St. Ulrich, the Apostles Peter and Paul, and the Adoration of the Magi. Another painting, “St. Jude Thaddeus,” can be viewed in the Raiffeisen Bank.
The S. Margareth Parish Church is located in the centre of Monguelfo.
