St Mark's Church

Local name: St.Markus Kirche

The church The brand in Salzburg is a baroque building. Despite its small size, this temple impresses with a huge amount of baroque decorations. The facade of the church is topped with figures of three saints: St. Mark the Evangelist, Saint. Urszula and St. Augustine. The most valuable monuments inside the church include the altar and pulpit as well as multi-colored frescoes by Christoph Anton Mayr. Attention is also drawn to the large size organs.

The church Mark was created at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the place of another temple, which was destroyed thirty years earlier. The building was designed by architect Fischer von Erlach, who was also responsible for the construction of other churches in Salzburg.

In the past, this church belonged to the Ursuline Order and was known simply as the "Ursuline Church". As "the church of St. The brand ”has been known for more or less since the 1950s. There is also a former Ursuline monastery next to the church, currently the seat of the Natural History Museum.
