Parisch Church „Mariä Himmelfahrt“ |

|
Parish church "Maria Himmelfahrt" (Mary’s ascension) This church is a building from the High Gothic Period of the 14th Century. The altar room and the choir chairs are the oldest part of the building. However, the older part of the building complex, which still stands today, is the little Roman side tower, which was built during the 13th Century. The oldest frescoes are in the choir chairs area. They were probably produced around 1399 and are part of the main works of the so-called “Bozner Schule“ (Bozen School). There are a number of wall paintings also to be found in the long house, which date back to around 1405 and were painted by Hans Stockinger. His frescoes present a classic example of the perfect merging of German and Italian shapes (e.g. the birth of Christ, the Madonna with the protective coat, St. Christopher etc).

St. Anthony in Siebeneich |
|
|
|
This small and cosy chapel was built in 1702 by order of the Commander Johann Jakob Count Thun. It was the second chapel, after the one in Klobenstein that was devoted to the Saint who was greatly revered by him. It is also the crowning conclusion of his building activities carried out at the manor of the Teutonic Order in Siebeneich which began in 1664.
The altar with two columns and statues of St. John and St. Jacob, who are the patron saints of the Commander, is credited to the sculptor Cristoforo Benedetti from Castione. |
