- Intro Text:
One of art history’s most interesting churches in East Tyrol is the pilgrimage church “Maria Schnee” in Obertauern, built 1456. The impressive frescoes from the late 15th century were painted by Simon von Taisten, the court painter of the Görzer counts. Due to a vow in the 17th century – when the plague was raging in the valley – the symbolic offering of a sacrifi cial ram is practiced to this very day.
- Inhalt/Text:
The church is surrounded by an ancient, well kept court ensemble. A popular way of the cross with 15 expressive stations leads directly to the pilgrimage church.
