Schafstallkirche St. Martin

Schafstallkirche St. Martin is a church in Munster that occupies a converted sheep stable from the 1800s. Inside, wooden ceiling beams display verses from Psalm 23, and sunlight fills the space through its openings.

The building started as a sheep stable in the mid-1800s and originally stood in another village. It was moved to its present location in 1987 and adapted for religious use.

A large window frames the altar space and functions as a work of art in the room. Nativity figures handcrafted by a sculptor from East Tyrol add traditional artisanal elements to the interior.

The space welcomes visitors during daylight hours, and its open layout makes it easy to walk through and observe the details. The simple setup means there are no complicated procedures or restrictions to worry about.

The building keeps its original appearance as a rural agricultural structure with typical features of a local farming shed. The timber frame and thatched roof make it a rare surviving example of this older building style.
