Innsbruck Cathedral

The cathedral was built in honor of St. James in 1722 and in it there is an altar decorated with a painting of Lucas Cranach the Elder which dates from 1520. In this Baroque church, which is decorated with rococo stucco, the pulpit, the organ and the picture of Mary Help of Christians, by the painter Lucas Cranach are outstanding. I only saw it from outside as I was on a flying visit to Innsbruck, but the cathedral was really beautiful. The city of Innsbruck itself is cozy, the people very friendly and I really enjoyed my short time there.

The baroque cathedral in the heart of the city

La cattedrale barocca nel cuore della città

Il duomo di Innsbruck, dedicato a San Giacomo, è un capolavoro del barocco di area germanica, con i due campanili gemelli e la cupola, visibili da tutta la città. Costruito tra il 1717 e il 1724 su di una preesistente chiesa gotica, il Duomo è caratterizzato dalla finezza degli affreschi e degli stucchi realizzati dai fratelli Asam. Da vedere la "Madonna" di Lucas Cranach il vecchio e il Monumento sepolcrale dell'arciduca Massimiliano III, Gran Maestro dell'ordine teutonico. L'imponente organo visibile oggi è il quinto di quelli che si sono succeduti all'interno della chiesa dopo il primo costruito nel 1725. L'organo attuale, costruito nel 2000 da Pirchner, ha 57 registri, 3 tastiere e pedaliera. Ad ogni messa potrete ascoltare anche il bravo organista titolare.

To see the "Madonna" by Lucas Cranach the Elder and the sepulchral monument of Archduke Maximilian III, Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. The impressive organ visible today is the fifth of those who have succeeded in the church after the first built in 1725.

a baroque temple.

un templo barroco .

La Catedral de St .James - La Catedral de Santiago , del siglo XVIII del arquitecto Johann Jakob Herkommer , que sufrio también los bombardeos ! Situada proxima al Palacio Imperial de Innsbruck , con una fachada con muchas ventanas tanto redondas como alargadas y en sus dos torres laterales hay adornos en forma de domos . Pero es su interior y mas concretamente su altar " A Maria de Succor " quien llama la atención , en bonitos tonos rosados de estilo gótico , el techo es magnifico con sus frescos y el estucado de estilo barroco ¡ su autor Lucas Cranach el viejo con su obra la " Madonna y el Niño " Es un templo católico en funcionamiento , en su campanario de la catedral suena el " carrillon de la paz " también el monumento funebre del archiduque Maximiliano III , merece la pena una visita a esta magnifica catedral , disfrutando de su decoracion en la magia de la navidad !
