St. Magdalene, Baroque church in Villnöß, South Tyrol, Italy

The church of St. Magdalene displays a combination of Gothic and Baroque architectural elements within its stone walls and tower structure.

The church's foundation dates to 1394, with significant modifications during the 15th century, retaining only the original tower from its first construction.

The interior contains paintings created in 1928 by Ladin artist Johann M. Pescoller, showcasing regional artistic traditions on the choir vault.

Visitors need to park at the Putzen car park and walk thirty minutes on a path to reach the church, as vehicle access is restricted.

Every third year, the church serves as a traditional stopping point for pilgrims traveling to Säben Monastery, continuing a 500-year-old practice.
