How to reach the Parish church of San Candido
Church, the original parish of San Candido, which existed since the 8th century and largely encompassed the eastern Pustertal until the 12th century. It is the actual pastoral church of Hofmark Innichen, which belonged to the lordship of the Freising monastery until 1803.
After 1735, the originally Romanesque church was converted into one of the most important late Baroque sacred buildings in Tyrol. The painting is one of the main works of the painter Christoph Anton Mayr from Schwaz. The altars are the work of the cabinetmaker Josef Stauder from San Candido. The pictures of the side altars were created by Carl Jehle, the high altarpiece by Karl Blaas. The exterior, especially the magnificent west façade of the church, is a decorative jewel of the market centre.
