history
The parish church of Bruneck is probably the most frequently converted and newly built sacred building in South Tyrol. A first Marienkirche can be traced back to the 13th century. A large late Gothic choir was added to the church around 1515 . In 1610 Bruneck became independent from the original parish of St. Lorenzen and became an independent parish. A baroque new building with ceiling paintings by Joseph Schöpf instead of the old church was built around 1790. After a fire, the current church was built between 1851 and 1853 according to plans by the Viennese architect Hermann Bergmann . The consecration took place in 1856.
Building description
The parish church is one of the earliest examples of historicist architecture in South Tyrol. In the exterior design, adorned by two facade towers, neo-Romanesque and classicist forms meet. The large nave ends at a detached, polygonal final choir.
