St. Sisinius' Church, Lasa/Laas
Laas/Lasa, Vinschgau/Val Venosta

The Romanesque St. Sisinius' Church is situated on a plateau above Lasa/Laas, the village of marble in South Tyrol. Its rare choir tower church was built on the ruins of a former building. Skeleton and clay fragments from the Bronze Age even prove the existence of a cult worship place. The hill’s many years of settlement are probably due to its location. Even today, visitors enjoy the wonderful view of the surrounding mountains that extend to the Laaser Ferner glacier.

The church itself was first mentioned in 1290 and is dedicated to the martyr Sisinius, who lived in the Nonsberg area of South Tyrol. Surrounded by a high asylum wall in a Romanesque herringbone pattern, the eastern wall has a Gothic pointed arch gate devoid of a gate wing. The choir is located in the tower, which is covered by a stone tower pyramid. The nave, on the other hand, has two round arched windows, a protruding triumphal arch and a portal made of pure Lasa marble.

The church has no sacral furniture and is closed.

St. George’s church
Schenna/Scena, Meran/Merano and environs

The church of Saint George in St. Georgen originates from the 12th and 13th Centuries. This original round church was previously the fortress chapel of St. Georgen or Alt-Schenna. When lightning struck in 1591 and nearly half of the church was destroyed, the central part of the church was strengthened with an additional pillar. The frescoes from the 14th Century are well restored and represent the martyrdom of Saint George, the Day of Judgement and the legend about Saint Nicolas. The Gothic wing altar shows Saint George on a horse, fighting with the dragon. It is also worth mentioning that there is a rare illustration of Saint Kummernus from the 17th Century. Legend has it that she was a king’s daughter from the Iberian peninsula. She had taken a vow to stay a virgin. However, her father, the king, wanted her to marry. In this difficult situation, she prayed she would grow a beard, so to disguise her face. Her prayer was answered, but her father got her thrown into the dungeon and nailed to a cross. The only remain from the former St. Georgen fortress is the keep, which is known today as the ’Uhlentower’.

The Chapel of Our Lady in the Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul in Partschins
Partschins/Parcines, Meran/Merano and environs
The Chapel of Our Lady – A Place of History and Art

The Chapel of Our Lady in Parcines is a fascinating building rich in history and tradition, dating back to 1361. According to historical records, it was built around 1350 by Knight Nikolaus Zehnter in honor of the Virgin Mary. In 1552, the chapel was extensively renovated and adorned with an elegantly crafted ceiling.
A true highlight of the chapel is the magnificent altar. While the mensa and tabernacle structure are from a more modern era, the columns with acanthus chalice and vine leaf decorations add a unique charm. The altarpiece depicts Saint Dominic and Saint Sebastian, surrounded by the representation of the Rosary Gift of Mary.

Saint Sebastian – Patron Saint and Living Tradition in Parcines

Saint Sebastian, whose feast day is celebrated on January 20, holds an important role as the patron saint of marksmen and a protector against the plague. On the altarpiece, he is depicted with the typical arrows symbolizing his martyrdom and his intercession during plague epidemics, for which he was especially revered.
In Parcines, devotion to Saint Sebastian goes beyond history. He is a living symbol of the local tradition. His values of protection, faith, and healing are celebrated through cultural customs, festivities, and the continuation of marksmen traditions. This makes him a spiritual and cultural reference point for the local community.

Other Artistic Features of the Chapel of Our Lady

The golden coat of arms on the altar is a later addition. Particularly impressive are the two angelic figures created around 1640 by Johann Patsch, which stand out for their high artistic quality. Above the broken pediment of the altar is a medallion painted on canvas, depicting a pope. It could either represent Pope Pius V or Pope Clement, but many scholars believe it depicts Pius V, under whose pontificate the decisive Battle of Lepanto took place on October 7, 1571—a victory attributed to the prayer of the rosary.

Chapel of St. Zyprian
Tiers am Rosengarten/Tires al Catinaccio, Dolomites Region Seiser Alm
Chapel of St. Zyprian/S. Cipriano

The paintings on the outer wall of the 17th century represent the wonderful rescue of the "Platzliner" meadow. God father flashes out the clouds, the Saints Cipriano and Giustina protect the meadow and his flook with their coats. This painting shows that the colonization of Tires did not begin in today's centre, but in San Cipriano.

Parish Church of St. Nicholas in Vöran
Vöran/Verano, Meran/Merano and environs

The Parish Church of Vöran/Verano, which is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is one of the oldest churches on the Tschögglberg high plateau. The church was first documented as far back as 1330.

The walls of the nave date from that time as well. Towards the end of the fifteenth century, the apse was redone in the Gothic style, the nave fitted with two pointed arched doors, and the tower built. During the baroque period, the nave was supplemented with flat-arched windows and a barrel vault; a side chapel was also added. Frescoes depicting the Coronation of the Virgin are interesting from a historical and art-historical perspective, but are not preserved in their entirety.

Evangelical Christ Church
Meran/Merano, Meran/Merano and environs

Located on the Passer Promenade, it was built between 1883 and 1885 in a neo-Gothic style. The church belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Italy and is a true symbol. Particularly notable is the large Christ figure, blessing the faithful – a masterpiece made of Laas marble, inspired by Bertel Thorvaldsen’s statue.

The construction of the church is closely tied to the development of Merano as a spa town. As early as 1861, the first members of the Evangelical community began to organise in the city. In 1870, the first pastor was appointed, and in 1876 the Evangelical community of Merano was established as part of the Evangelical Church A.B. in Austria. This open, cosmopolitan atmosphere is still very much present in Merano today – the city has preserved its welcoming spirit over the centuries.

The building itself is steeped in a unique atmosphere. It sits amidst an idyllic garden and is crowned by a striking spire. The exterior walls are a true masterpiece of neo-Gothic architecture, with intricate flying buttresses and pointed windows. The interior is kept simple, offering plenty of space for reflection and prayer. Noteworthy are the wooden reliefs of the altar and pulpit, created by Franz Xaver Pendl, as well as the impressive crucifix.

The Christ Church is not just a place of worship but also a cultural meeting point. Regular sacred music concerts and organ performances take place here, and those strolling along the Passer Promenade can often feel as though they have been transported to another country. The atmosphere of the garden, the imposing building, and the harmony between nature and architecture make the Evangelical Christ Church a truly special destination for anyone visiting Merano.

Merano, with its cosmopolitan character, invites people to explore different cultures and religions. The Christ Church stands as an extraordinary testament to this unique heritage and is a place that reflects both the faith and the diversity of life in Merano.

Parish Church of St. John in Hafling
Hafling/Avelengo, Meran/Merano and environs

The Parish Church of Hafling, which is first mentioned in documents dating from 1291, is dedicated to John the Baptist. The walls of the nave date from the same period while the Gothic chancel and tower, which can still be seen today, were added in the second half of the fifteenth century.

The rededication took place on June 11th, 1469. In the seventeenth century, a barrel vault replaced the flat wooden ceiling. Of particular note is the remarkably large mural depicting St. John the Evangelist, which dates to around 1600. In the chancel arch, there is a precious fresco by Karl von Blaas. A few sculptures from the eighteenth century grace the church as well.

The porphyry relief on the outside of the cemetery chapel, now the vestry, is a mystery. It depicts a man, a tree, a flower, and a wheel-shaped ornament. The enigmatic relief is often associated with an agrarian devotion to the sun, but a precise interpretation has yet to be firmly established.

Weiberbödele
Stilfs/Stelvio, Vinschgau/Val Venosta
The Weiberbödele is a site dating back to the Bronze Age (approx. 2000-1800 a. C) where votive pyres were consumed. Nearby, numerous metal slags and a bronze axe were found, which suggests the existence of a forge. The mineral should not have made a defect if you think that Stelvio - which is accessed after 15 minutes of ascent respecting the marker 9 (h. 1302 )- was built and inhabited by miners working in the mines of the area.

Church at Monte Santa Caterina/Katharinaberg
Schnals/Senales, Vinschgau/Val Venosta

After the tight canyon at the entrance to the valley, the valley widens and you will see the chapel of the village of Monte S. Caterina/Katharinaberg on your right. The chapel is like a signpost for the village. Once upon a time, this rocky hill was crowned with the castle of the „Lords of Schnals“, which gave the valley its name.

Parish Church Steinegg|Collepietra
Karneid/Cornedo all'Isarco, Dolomites Region Eggental
The parish church of Steinegg|Collepietra is a special place where art, history and spirituality come together in an impressive way. 
First mentioned in 1322, the church, with its walls and works of art, tells of times gone by and living tradition. Originally dedicated to St Peter and St Jakobus, later only to St Peter, and today to St Peter and St Paul - the history of the patron saints reflects the development of this sacred building.

On entering the church, the pointed arch-shaped main portal catches the eye, with its star-shaped vault dating from the first half of the 15th century. The choir, as you see it today, was built around 1664 and impresses with its three-sided apse. A special highlight can be found in the choir: a small, artistic sandstone statue of St Peter.

The 35 metre high tower from the 15th century houses six bells that carry the sound of faith far into the valley. There is much to discover inside the church: The valuable Stations of the Cross date back to 1747 and the colourful frescoes, created by Karl Joh. Henrici in 1794, tell stories from the Bible and invite you to linger.

The works of art from modern times also fit harmoniously into the story: The sculptor Friedrich Gurschler created the altar, the baptismal font and the lectern, while H. Peter Fellin painted the impressive altarpiece depicting the Most Holy Trinity - with the Virgin of Protection, embedded in the mountain landscape of the Rosengarten|Catinaccio, Schlern|Sciliar and Steinegg|Collepietra.

Another highlight are the colourful stained glass windows, designed by Prof. Widmoser and masterfully realised by the artist Ulrike Peer Huber. The Stations of the Cross were carved by Jakob Oberhollenzer and the church patrons, St Peter and St Paul, were created by Matthias Resch from Steinegg.

In the basement of the church you will find the Museum Steinegg and the Chapel of the Resurrection - a quiet place for contemplation. The cemetery, which is one of the most beautiful in South Tyrol, impresses with its artistically forged crosses and radiates a special tranquillity.

Useful information:
The church is always open during the day and is barrier-free.
Masses are always held on Saturdays at 7.30 pm and on Sundays at 7.00 am and 10.00 am.

Parish church Maria Himmelfahrt in Rodeneck
Neumarkt/Egna, Brixen/Bressanone and environs
The parish church was built around 1180 and the Romanesque church was consecrated in 1184. This was replaced around 1500 by a late Gothic building with a three-aisled nave and a single-aisled choir. This is indicated by the year 1498 carved on the lintel of the side portal.

The location of the church directly above the Rienzsch1ucht led to an unfortunate event in 1688. After the parish tower had already been severely damaged by lightning, particularly in 1687, part of the crumbling rock collapsed a year later, taking with it part of the cemetery adjacent to the church and, according to local tradition, the old presbytery. Soon afterwards, the damage was repaired by building a retaining wall at the demolition site so that it was possible to walk around the church again, and the cemetery was extended towards the castle. Between 1794 and 1795, the church was extended to the west and the Gothic ribs were removed. The removed vault ribs were restored in 1959.

The last restorations date back to 1983. The interior is largely neo-Gothic from around 1870, although some of the wooden sculptures on the high altar date back to Adam Baldauf (1616 -1618). The gravestones of various Wolkensteins, the lords of Line (14th century) and the caretaker Caspar von Gufidaun, the great opponent of Cardinal Nikolaus Cusanus, who died in 1458, remind us of the history and connection with Rodenegg Castle. The well-kept cemetery with its lawn and exemplary wrought iron crosses contains around 200 graves and a simple cemetery chapel dating from 1697 with the image of St. Michael with the scales of the soul.
In 2008, the entire belfry was thoroughly renovated and new sound shutters were fitted to the tower openings in 2013.

Villnöss/Funes, Dolomites Region Villnösstal

The St. James Church is located near the pre-Christian burnt offering site of Tschaufis. The walls of the nave date back to the 12th century and the bell tower was built in Gothic style. The gothic winged altarpiece from 1517 is the most precious piece of the church.

St. Mary’s Parish Church
Meran/Merano, Dolomites Region Val Gardena

The 19th century neo-Gothic nave was demolished in 1988 and replaced by a modern octagonal structure. The beautiful chancel dating back to 1670, however, was preserved, complete with the painting of the Madonna with Child by Lukas Cranach on the high altar (now a copy). In 1503 Wilhelm von Wolkenstein had a chapel dedicated to the Virgin built here, which subsequently had to be enlarged several times to cope with the large numbers of people who came to this popular place of pilgrimage as they still do today. On the outside wall of the sacristy there is a stone painted with the coat of arms of the Counts of Wolkenstein.
