history

After the approval of the Bruneck City Council in 1625, the Capuchin Order settled in the city. The area of ​​the former smelter of the Ahrner copper mine on Spitalsanger (today Kapuzinerplatz ) was assigned to him for the construction of a monastery church . The construction of the church took place under the supervision of Father Michael ( Fieger von Friedberg ) and was consecrated in 1628, but the monastery could not be completed until 1630. In 1723, both the church and the monastery fell victim to a major city ​​fire , but were immediately rebuilt.

Building description

The church has the simple appearance typical of the Capuchin order. The detached choir is just closing , a side chapel is built on the left side of the nave . There is a wooden roof turret on the roof . A mosaic image of St. Francis of Assisi can be seen above the portal at the front , which was created in 2006 by the Verona-based company Arte Poli .

Inside, the nave and choir are covered by barrel vaults. On the left side a round arch opens to the Lady Chapel. Josef Bachlechner the Elder created the church's altars around 1900. The high altar picture shows Saints Francis and Anthony , above it the Trinity over Bruneck. It comes from an unknown artist from the construction period, around 1628. The altar side paintings show John the Baptist and John the Evangelist . The altar and picture in the Marienkapelle were created by Georg Freiberger around 1905. On the swinging gallery there is an organ made by Reinisch-Pirchner in 1994.
