Jesuitenkirche Innsbruck, Baroque Jesuit church in Innsbruck, Austria
Jesuitenkirche Innsbruck is a baroque church in Austria with distinctive twin towers, a soaring dome, and elaborate stucco work throughout its interior. Inside, the space features gilded decorations, an impressive organ, and various religious artworks that reflect the period's architectural style.
Construction began in 1627 during the Thirty Years' War and finished in 1640 under the patronage of Archduke Leopold V. The church was built to demonstrate the power of the Counter-Reformation and Habsburg influence in the Tyrol region.
The church serves as an active place of worship and gathering for locals, with regular services and occasional concerts held within its walls. Visitors can observe how the space is used by the community throughout the day, from quiet prayer to religious celebrations.
The church is typically open daily for visitors to explore the main sanctuary and underground crypt at their own pace. Morning visits work well for avoiding crowds and getting better views of the ornamental details and lighting inside.
The bell hanging in the bell tower is Austria's fourth largest and weighs around 9 tons, surpassed only by those in Vienna, Salzburg, and one other Tyrolean sanctuary. This massive bronze is unusual for a city of Innsbruck's size.
