There are twelve churches on Lake Thun, and this, St. Michael's, is apparently the "mother" church, see //www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/destinations/nature/offer-About_Wedding-Wedding_Chappels-308480.html/ It was built in 1223, see http://www.ywam-einigen.ch/?p=region/.

Read the legend of the Duke Strattlingen, his patron, the Archangel Michael, and the miraculous return of the Duke to his wife just before she was to be remarried (he had given permission years before, if he did not return to claim her), and the building of this church in thanksgiving.
See that and more legends at Legends of Switzerland, at google books at page 116 give or take; at ://books.google.com/books?id=k_8YAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA116&lpg=PA116&dq=Einigen+church+Switzerland&source=bl&ots=phhulMRaoO&sig=i_5dN8MsqNbdgMDHNnoQoFYqzDU&hl=en&ei=60MdS_KGJYzjlAfK1e3xCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBcQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=&f=false/.
