    Stadtpfarrkirche St Jakob

    The monolithic Stadtpfarrkirche St Jakob dominates the old town. The interior is interesting, but bring binoculars or a good zoom lens to really appreciate details of its frescoes. The far end of the nave has a stuccoed ceiling and a vast rococo altar in gold leaf, arrayed with fresh cream flowers, and its walls are studded with the ornate memorial plaques of the region’s noble families.
