Pfarrkirche St. Leonhard
Die Kapelle in Ingenbohl wird erstmals 1387 in einem Ablassbrief erwähnt. St. Leonhard und St. Pantaleon waren seit jeher die Kirchenpatrone von Ingenbohl.
Until the beginning of the 13th century, the chapel belonging to Schwyz was dedicated to St Pantaleon and then to St Leonhard. From 1479 to 1481, a new building with three altars was erected on the same site. This chapel was enlarged in 1607. The cemetery was laid out in 1613. Ingenbohl was able to separate from the greater parish of Schwyz in 1618 and became its own parish. The parish church was rebuilt between 1658 and 1661 and the charnel house was constructed at the same time. The church tower was renovated in 1832. In 1927, the Schwyz architect Josef Steiner was commissioned to enlarge and extensively renovate the church. Further restoration work followed around 50 years later, from 1976 to 1978 and in 2011. The oldest bell dates back to 1403.
