St. Hilarius Parish Church of Nafels

St. Hilarius Parish Church of Nafels is a Catholic church in Nafels, Glarus Nord, Glarus Canton, Switzerland. It is indexed as a Cultural Property of National Significance. The church is known as for Hilary of Poitiers. Build within the Baroque style, it become designed through architects Johann Singer and Jakob Singer of Lucerne and constructed from 1779 to 1781. It was renovated in 1979, at the event of the 200^th anniversary of the begin of its unique production.

An everlasting flame is kept burning on the church, in atonement for a 14th-century murder. Exactly what homicide is an issue of some confusion: it may be the 1357 homicide of Heinrich Stucki with the aid of his neighbour Konrad Mueller, or every other wherein brothers named Tschudi quarreled and one killed the alternative. In any case, a person deeded walnut oil from timber on two parcels of his land to be supplied to preserve the flame burning.

Later the deed became modified to make this right into a payment of CHF70 in line with year, a situation which was attached to the land name inside the nearby registry. Legally talking, this condition became lost in 1911 in the course of registry reforms, but owners of the land continued to pay it over the course of the subsequent century, until 2012 while the new landowner refused the duty and the church took him to courtroom to dispute his non-price.
