Saint Michael church, Baroque church in Innichen, Italy.
Saint Michael church is a baroque building in the town center featuring a round bell tower topped with an octagonal section and an onion dome. This tower creates a distinctive vertical form that stands out in the local landscape.
The building was established around 1200 and underwent major renovations after a fire in 1735 that resulted in the addition of the octagonal tower section. This renewal defined how it looks today.
The interior displays extensive frescoes by Christoph Anton Mayr from the 1700s showing Saint Michael in various roles as a guardian figure. These paintings shape how the space feels and reflect the local devotion to this saint.
Visitors can enter the church during opening hours and explore the interior freely. The central location makes it easy to include this building in a town walk.
A 1997 organ built by Johann Pirchner features seven registers that produce distinct musical works. This instrument adds to the ceremonies held here and shows the building continues to evolve.
