Mariä Heimsuchung is a charming old chapel tucked away amid the picturesque landscape of Kirchwald, a district of Nussdorf am Inn. In 1644, the site served as a hermitage, which was built by Michael Schöpfl, a pilgrim returning from Rome. According to local legends, Michael came across the shoe of baby Jesus in the forest clearing, and felt it was a sign to have a chapel built at the site. A gentle stream that passed near the area soon turned it into a pilgrimage site, as its water was believed to be sacred. Today, the church defines the quaint charm of the town. Beautiful Rococo furnishings adorn its interiors, making it an important historic and architectural landmark of Nussdorf am Inn.
A mixture of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture, St. Ägidius und Nikolaus holds the distinction of being the oldest church in town. The Romanesque nave dates from 1275, whereas the tall tower is decidedly Baroque. Surrounded by verdant hills and rolling countryside, this ivory-hued church commands awe and respect from anyone who lays eyes on it.
The Fischbachau Priory was established in 1807 by the monks of the Bayrischzell monastery, under the Hirsau Abbey’s domain. It moved several times with the community, to Petersberg, and finally to Scheyern in Bavaria, Gernamy. The current structure of the church follows the Rococo architectural style from its redevelopment in the 1700s. It is famous for the iconography of Melchior Puchner as seen in the 73 frescoes it displays.
With its history dating as far back as 1205, the Festung Kufstein or Fortress Kufstein is a major crowd puller in the entire region of Tyrol, and has changed hands over the centuries from the bishops of Regensburg, to the Bavarian Dukes and then finally coming under the rule of Kufstein in 1924. The fortress can be hired for private events, bashes, parties, anniversaries, business seminars and more, while a romantic meal can be enjoyed at the castle restaurant offering panoramic views.
This late Gothic hall church was renovated in the baroque style in the 1660s, followed by a classicist redesigning of its interior, particularly the furniture in 1840. The domed tower of the church can be seen from afar, and the bells date from 1706. The pillared interiors, the gilded altars and the vibe of tranquility is equally enchanting.
Formerly a Benedictine monastery, the Church of St.Martin is juxtaposed beautifully against verdant, Alpine scenery of Fishbachau. The church's ornate interiors are a stellar example of the Wessobrunn School of Baroque-Stucco workers. An amalgamation of different architectural styles from Romanesque, Baroque to Rococo, the church holds significant historical and religious value.
One of the town's most iconic structures, the St. Sixtus Church is nestled on the northern banks of the Schliersee. Bathed in a lemony tin, the church's Baroque facade is further accentuated with a Gothic tower that seems to pierce through the clouds above. The interior of the structure is a fine example of the Rococo style and is further adorned with meticulously done frescoes narrating the Capture of St. Sixtus, Beheading of St. Sixtus and the Marie Monogram.
Located on Marienplatz, the Kernhaus is a splendid historic building that sits across from the town hall. Now home to the District Court as well as Hotel Gasthof Paulanerstuben, the building is especially known for its remarkable painted facade, featuring an extraordinary tapestry of ornate windows, gilded frames and sculptures.
Después de la secularización, la iglesia pasó a manos de los Romanow, a los que aún se recuerda gracias a las losas sepulcrales.
El complejo monacal domina el valle del Mangfall desde principios del siglo XII. Tras varios incendios y su disolución durante la secularización, la iglesia se rediseñó y decoró profusamente. Los colores de los estucados y los frescos relucen hoy como antes. La antigua iglesia de los canónigos agustinos es actualmente una iglesia parroquial consagrada a los santos Pedro y Pablo.
Reisach Priory was originally built by Abraham Millauer under the instructions of Johann Georg Messerer in 1731, in honor of Saint Theresa. it was known then as Urfahrn Priory. It was later established by Carmelites in 1836 as the Reisach Priory, in the emptied buildings at Oberaudorf, Bavaria. Some of its wonders are the Baroque nativity crib and the sculpture on the wooden side pedestals, especially the works of Johann Baptist Straub like the Altar of the Scapular.
