The parish church is an example of Viennese engineering and one of the highlights is a late Classical high altar (1882) with marble tabernacle. The pews (and matching confessionals) are carved in walnut. Before entering, Gayle and I noticed the plaque commemorating the Community's WWI dead, as this area was once a battle line between Germany and Italy. In the rear of the Church was an ornate cemetery and an atmosphere of quiet contemplation as we watched several family members stop by and pay their respects. From the outside, the Church itself appears as a bit square, with little adornment or hint of the impressive religious wonders that lay within. Gayle and I were both impressed and humbled as we walked inside and took it all in. It's perhaps too easy to be acclimatized to the notion of walking inside "yet another Church" when on a European Vacation. In this situation, the Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul respectfully "grabbed" both of us and demanded that we pay some spiritual attention.

The Bell Tower was built between 1756 and 1758, after the old Gothic church had been severely damaged by fire in 1753. The Church Bells ring on the hour from 6 AM to 10 PM and provided a certain comfort at our nearby Cavallino d'Oro/Goldenes Rössl Hotel. We also had the chance to walk inside the Tower and admire the ornate Chapel.

Currently under massive renovation. According to The guidebook they didn't use to charge for…read moreadmission but now they charge a 10 euro donation for the renovation. Inside is completely filled with scaffolding. The only worthwhile feature is that since the scaffolding is built all the way up to the ceiling this is your chance to see some of the murals on the ceiling really close. But you can't see a lot as you are only allowed to go up the one narrow central staircase and can't walk around on the planks which are only for the workmen. Better wait till the reno is finished by the end of the year, otherwise it's not really worth the 10 euros to just see the scaffolding and a very small part of the frescos. The rating is for the condition it is in right now. No doubt it'll be great when the renovation is finished.
