San Giuseppe (St. Joseph) Parish Church

The San Giuseppe Parish Church is one of the most beautiful and modern churches in the Alps and is a fine example of contemporary architecture. The church was built and designed by the famous architect Willy Gutweniger between 1966 and 1971. It represents a successful attempt to combine ancient and modern and it is important that visitors allow themselves sufficient time to understand the rich symbolic language of the building. The church opened on 13 March 1977 in the presence of the Bishop of the Diocese at the time, Dr. Josef Gargitter. Further information and images of the church and its furnishings are available at the vicarage and in the Tourist Association. The Parish Church is open daily from 6:30am to 7:30pm. Guided tours are held every Thursday at 5pm, from Easter to All Saints Day.
