Spitalskirche, Baroque church on Maria-Theresien-Straße, Innsbruck, Austria.
Spitalskirche is a baroque church with white walls, curved architectural elements, and elaborate stucco decorations in central Innsbruck. The building features two portals topped with finely carved wooden doors that lead into the interior.
The structure was built in 1700 by Johann Martin Gumpp to replace an earlier gothic chapel on the site. It was originally connected to a hospital that had operated outside the city walls since 1326.
The church displays busts of the twelve Apostles along its walls, each carrying symbols of their martyrdom and forming a silent gallery of religious figures.
The church is located in central Innsbruck and remains open during daytime hours for visitors to explore its architectural features. It is best to visit early in the day when there is less activity in the surrounding area.
The ceiling fresco was painted by Hans Andre in 1962 after the original paintings were destroyed during World War II bombing. These modern frescoes create an interesting contrast with the baroque architecture of the building.
