Franciscan Church Salzburg...

The Franziskanerkirche is one of the oldest churches in the old town of Salzburg and belongs to the Franciscan monastery.

Its history - like that of the Salzburg Cathedral - goes back to the early days of Christian Salzburg. Both churches are characterised by their strong contrasts: on the one hand the cathedral, the dominating baroque bishop's church, and on the other hand the Franciscan church, a slender Gothic church of the citizens. The cathedral - a building of religious representation, the Franciscan church - a place of quiet contemplation.
