Pfarrkirche Ischgl, Parish church in Ischgl, Austria.
Pfarrkirche Ischgl is a parish church and protected historic building in the Stubai Valley, featuring Rococo style with silver altars and elaborate ceiling stucco work from 1756. Its interior displays paintings by Anton Kirchebner that enhance the richness of the decoration.
First mentioned in 1443, the church was fundamentally reshaped in 1755 when Pastor Joseph Moritz demolished the old structure and built the present Rococo building. This reconstruction marked a shift toward one of the more richly decorated churches in the region.
The church houses a silver reliquary arm of Saint Stephen brought from Prüm, which has been venerated here since 1803. This treasure draws visitors interested in the spiritual role the place holds for local people.
The church is regularly accessible to visitors and maintains religious services throughout the year. Guests should observe standard courtesy when visiting and be mindful of ongoing ceremonies.
The adjacent cemetery features traditional metal crosses handcrafted by local blacksmiths according to specific regional design standards. This metalwork tradition offers a quiet discovery for those who take time to walk through the burial ground.
