Description
History, art and faith come together: from the ancient Church of St. George with precious frescoes to the parish church with St. Erasmus Chapel.
In Taisten, history, art, and faith blend in a remarkable way. The visit begins with St. George’s Church, the oldest in the parish, built around 800 as a fortified sanctuary and first mentioned in 861. Inside, late Gothic frescoes depicting scenes from the life of Christ and the famous St. Christopher fresco, once believed to protect travellers, leave a lasting impression. Another highlight is the parish church of Taisten with the Erasmus Chapel, burial place of the Counts of Welsperg. Beautifully crafted tombstones and memorial shields reflect the family’s historical significance. The tour ends at the carefully designed cemetery, a place of peace and reflection.
Difficulty: easy.
