Innichen Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Innichen, Italy
The monastery features a central nave with two smaller aisles, a transept, presbytery, and three aisles, with a massive bell tower constructed between 1323 and 1326.
Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria established the monastery in 769, allocating estates in Puster Valley to Abbot Atto of Scharnitz for converting pagan Slavs in the region.
The interior dome displays 13th-century frescoes depicting Stories of Creation, while the crypt contains wooden sculptures of the patron saints Candidus and Corbinian.
The monastery building contains external walls, piers, apses, and crypts from 1140, with additional structures including vaults and a transept added during reconstruction around 1240.
The collegiate church stands as the principal Romanesque architectural structure in Tyrol and the Eastern Alps, featuring a simple facade made of crude stone blocks.
