Project: Austria - Salzburg

Universitats-kirche (Kollegienkirche) - University / College Church)

 

The high altar, created about 1740 by Anton Pfaffinger, symbolizes Proverbs ix:1 (Wisdom has built a house for itself and has hewn out seven pillars.) The decorative stucco work was done by Diego Francesco Carlone and Paolo D'Allio. This church is one of the most important specimens of the Austrian and, consequently, of the European baroque style.
