The St. Vigil Church under Weineck am Virgl

St. Vigil unter Weineck am Virgl is a South Tyrolean high medieval church, located on the local mountain Virgl, south of the old town of Bozen , in the formerly independent cadastral community of Zwölfmalgrei . The chapel is dedicated to the diocesan patron of the Diocese of Trento , St. Vigilius , dedicated.

The simple Romanesque building with a flat gable, grooved pointed arched door, small square windows and round apse is mentioned for the first time in 1275 and was a foundation of the Lords of Weineck, whose castle Weineck, destroyed a little later by Count Meinhard II of Tyrol-Gorizia , was located directly above it. In 1346 the church appears as "capella sancti Vigilii de Purchstal plebatus Bozani" . In 1480, Ludwig Hugk, a church provost of his own, was named "Sandt Vigilien capelln vnder Weinegkh" .

Both on the facade and in the interior, the sacred building is decorated with often heavily damaged frescoes from the so-called Bozen School from around 1390/1400. The depiction of the legend of Vigilius could come from Conrad von Ingolstadt , who can be traced back to Bozen between 1387 and 1406 .

From the years 1685 to 1806, 15 St. Vigil's account books have survived in the Bolzano city archives (Hss. 1782–1797), which were kept by the respective church provosts .

After the construction of the Holy Sepulcher Church below, the chapel was profaned in 1685 and placed under monument protection in 1977 .
