Church of Saints Peter and Paul

There's a beautiful church here in Mittenwald, and we weren't going to leave without seeing it. I hadn't particularly put it into my plan, though off-handedly I figured we'd see it the first day we arrived since we were going to drop our bags and hang out in town. Well, that changed, so we hadn't gotten to the church.

Now was our chance. We were going to catch a bus, and it was on the way to the bus stop. We also had plenty of time, so took the opportunity.

Another high Baroque church, built in the 1720s, the Church of Saints Peter and Paul is pretty fantastic inside. Characteristic of the style, there's a lot of gold and frills. This trip is making me rethink my dislike of Baroque style, but we'll see how long that lasts.

That said: some pictures of the Lüftlmalerei outside, and the extravagant interior.Weiterlesen
