Saint Augustine church, Baroque church in Gries-Quirein district, Bolzano, Italy
The Saint Augustine Church features decorative vaults in its nave and cupola, with seven altar pieces adorned with frescoes by Martin Knoller.
The church construction began in 1769 after Augustinian monks relocated from their previous monastery destroyed by floods of the Eisack river in 1406.
The church building belongs to Muri-Gries Abbey, maintained by Benedictine monks who continue centuries-old traditions of prayer, agriculture, and wine production.
Visitors can find the church at the intersection of Gries Square and Grieser Platz, near the former castle keep that now functions as bell tower.
The bell tower contains South Tyrol's heaviest bell weighing 5026 kilograms and houses a specialized Nativity Scene Museum.
