St. Blasius Church, Gothic parish church in Altstadt, Austria
Description
St. Blasius Church is a Gothic parish church in Salzburg located at the end of Getreidegasse, standing against the Mönchsberg cliff face. The building features a hall design where the central nave and side aisles reach the same height.
History
The church grew from a chapel established in 1185 that was expanded into a church by 1330 to serve an adjacent citizens' hospital. It developed over centuries into a religious and social center for this part of the city.
Culture
The church displays a late-Gothic sacrament shrine with intricate stonework and a small oriel window from the 15th century. This crafted work represents the religious artistry of its era.
Practical
The interior is accessible during daylight hours, but be aware that during regular services parts of the building may not be available to visitors. Plan your visit outside these times to explore the interior without interruption.
