Pfarrkirche St. Jakob und St. Leonhard, Hopfgarten im Brixental

Pfarrkirche St. Jakob und St. Leonhard, Hopfgarten im Brixental, Parish church in Hopfgarten im Brixental, Austria.

The Pfarrkirche St. Jakob und St. Leonhard is a double-tower baroque church built 1758–1764 to plans by Kassian Singer, completed by Andre Hueber. Its main nave is 52 metres long, the small transept about 24 metres long and 18 metres wide, and the two towers rise 52 metres, each roughly 8 by 8 metres in plan. The bright interior carries ornate vaults with ceiling frescoes by Johann Weiß (1764).

The church was first documented in 1355 as part of the original parish of Brixen im Thale, with Kelchsau as a filial church; by 1400 it already had two priests. In 1669 Hopfgarten became a vicariate and in 1859 an independent parish. The present baroque building was begun in 1758 to plans by Kassian Singer, continued after his death in 1759 by site architect Andre Hueber, and completed in 1764.

The church is nicknamed "Dom des Brixentals" (Cathedral of the Brixen Valley) for its size. Its ceiling frescoes, painted in 1764 by Johann Weiß, show the Glory of Heaven with the Trinity in the nave and transept, plus the Expulsion from Paradise, the Crucifixion, Pentecost and the Last Judgment. In the choir, frescoes above the side galleries depict the Baptism of Jesus and St John Nepomuk kneeling before the Madonna.

The church stands in the village centre of Hopfgarten im Brixental, in the Kitzbühel district of Tyrol. The main nave is 52 metres long, the small transept about 24 metres long and 18 metres wide, and the two towers rise 52 metres. The bells are rung at about 9 o'clock, except the small bell.

Seven bells hang in the two towers: six large ones cast in 1948 by the Oberascher foundry in Salzburg in a special alloy, and a seventh cast in 1933 by Grassmayr in Innsbruck, kept as a separate death bell. All but the smallest have a Klöppelfänger and are rung around 9 o'clock.
