The former Jesuit Church in Hall in Tirol is a branch church of the Roman Catholic parish St. Nikolaus in Hall in Tirol and is also called All Saints Church (patronage on November 1st, the feast of All Saints ). The church is a listed building .
history
The order of the Jesuits was appointed in 1569 to take care of the royal dynasty of the Archduchess Magdalena of Austria in Hall. In 1571 a house chapel was established. In 1573 the Jesuit grammar school was founded, which still exists today as a Franciscan grammar school . The foundation stone for the Jesuit College in Hall was laid in 1608 and the consecration took place on May 2, 1610 after two years of construction. It was built by the Jesuit Stefan Huber based on the model of the Jesuit Church in Constance . In addition to the neighboring church of the women's monastery, it is the only late Renaissance church in Tyrol. In 1684 it was rebuilt inside and out in the Baroque style.
After the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773, the college and the church became the property of the imperial family and, after the end of the monarchy, the property of the Republic of Austria. After extensive restoration, the church was donated to the parish of St. Nikolaus zu Hall in Tirol in 1972. Services are celebrated there on certain occasions, for example the patronage on the eve of All Saints' Day and the Annunciation (March 25th), the main festival of the Marian Congregation. The church is also very popular for weddings and church concerts.
The Jesuit Church is the congregation church of the Marian Congregation of Lords and Citizens of Hall in Tirol, which was separated from the Marian Congregation of the students of the Jesuit High School in Hall in 1606 as a branch of the adult men. The church is also the home of the Partisan Guard , one of the last four Sacrament Guards in Tyrol (intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO Austria since 2013). The partisan guard goes back to the tradition of the Corpus Christi brotherhoods and takes its name from their representative weapon, the partisan . The special feature of the Hall Partisan Guard is their Spanish court costume from around 1600.
description
The entrance facade with long pass windows is divided horizontally by cornices and has a curved, kinked gable with stuccoed cartilage and a column flanked portal made of red marble from 1610 with a blown volute gable . The statues on the facade, a Madonna and Child of the Patrona Bavariae type , the figure of Salvator mundi and a dove of the Holy Spirit, were created in 1653 by Michael Gasser . Attached to the east choir is a slender tower with an octagonal top and onion dome, which was rebuilt in 1685 after the great Hall earthquake of 1670 .
The single-aisled interior consists of a five- bay nave and a two-bay choir with a retracted apse , barrel vault and stitch caps . It has round-arched side niches and stucco from 1653. With the exception of the Rococo altars, all furnishings date from the 17th century. The high altar sheet depicting numerous saints (All Saints) was painted in 1609 by Johann Matthias Kager from Augsburg. The cheeks of the pews and the essays of the confessionals are richly carved.
In 1663 the Franz Xaveri Chapel was added to the north-west corner. Every year at Christmas time, the baroque Christmas crib of the Marian Congregation with dressed figures from the 17th century is set up there. It is one of the oldest nativity scenes in Tyrol. The background image was painted in oil on canvas in 1938 by the Hall painter Franz Xaver Fuchs, covering the entire height of the room. The nativity figurines were completely restored between 1989 and 1993 in cooperation with the Austrian Federal Monuments Office.
