Mariahilfkirche, Parish church in Hötting, Austria
The Mariahilfkirche is a church with a round domed interior and five altar niches, designed by Christoph Gumpp. The interior features ceiling frescoes and stucco work from the early baroque period.
The church was built in 1647 as a vow when Tyrolean authorities sought the Virgin Mary's protection during the Thirty Years War. Its construction was part of a time when many people in the region turned to faith for refuge.
The altar displays a copy of a famous painting of Mary that drew people to pray and shaped devotion to the Virgin Mary. This artwork from 1654 by Michael Waldmann remains central to prayer in the church.
The church is open daily to visitors and offers a quiet space to view the interior. Guided tours can be arranged through the parish office at Dr.-Sigismund-Epp-Weg 1.
The dome frescoes were painted by Kaspar Waldmann while Hans Schor created the stucco work, and both show an early form of baroque style in North Tyrol. These two artists shaped the room's appearance and make the church an example of their artistic teamwork in that era.
