Franciscan Church

Why go

Few central churches show Salzburg's long building history so clearly in one view. The low, shadowed nave opens into a much taller Gothic choir, while later chapels and the high altar add Baroque interventions. That contrast makes the church a useful companion to the Cathedral and Collegiate Church rather than another interchangeable interior.

What to look for

• A dark Romanesque nave opens into a soaring Gothic choir.
• Later Baroque chapels and altar work sit within the older structure.

Useful to know

• Enter quietly outside services and look back from the choir to see the strongest spatial contrast.
