Michaelskirche, Romanesque church in Old Town, Austria

Saint Michael's Church features a marble high altar and side altars depicting the Annunciation and the Archangel Raphael with Tobias.

The church served as a palace chapel for Bavarian dukes between the 8th and early 12th centuries, with separate floors for emperor and citizens.

The church displays a year-round nativity scene presenting biblical events from the angel's proclamation through Jesus's resurrection against Salzburg landmarks.

Visitors can enter Saint Michael's Church every day from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, except during religious services.

The 1771 lantern tower by Philipp Hinterseer rises above the structure, while Franz Xaver König created frescoes depicting Virgin Mary's coronation.
