Dreiheiligenkirche, Catholic parish church in Dreiheiligen-Schlachthof district, Innsbruck, Austria.
Dreiheiligenkirche is a Catholic parish church in the Dreiheiligen-Schlachthof district with a Neo-Romanesque facade and an octagonal tower at the southwest corner. The building features arcades from the former cemetery and continues to serve the community today.
Construction began in 1612 following a vow made during a plague epidemic, with the first consecration on October 13, 1613. The building was later expanded and received its current Neo-Romanesque form over the centuries.
The interior decoration shows Rocaille stuccowork and ceiling paintings by Johann Michael Strickner with three Rococo altars made of stucco marble. This decoration from 1750 continues to shape the character of the church space today.
The church underwent extensive renovation between 2010 and 2013 that restored its 1860 appearance while preserving its function. Visitors can explore the building and attend regular religious services that demonstrate its active role in the community.
A 1900 mosaic on the main facade depicts four patron saints, Sebastian, Pirmin, Rochus, and Alexius, along with Mary and the Christ Child. This artwork on the exterior is often overlooked by visitors arriving at the entrance.
