Salzburg Photos: Müllner Stadtpfarrkirche
return to "summer
photos 2"
The Müllner Stadtpfarrkirche or Mülln Parish Church is a very dominant and
impressive building - even moreso from inside than from outside. It was once a
monastic church that belonged to the Augustinian Monastery, a rather big cluster
of buildings in the district of Mülln. When the Augustinians of Salzburg were
not allowed to take on new novices, it was a matter of time until they went
extinct. Following that, the church became the parish church that it is until
today and the Benedictine monastery of Michaelbeuern (in the tiny
Flachgau village of
Dorfbeuern) took over the brewery. Thank god for that: The old
Augustinian monastery is now home to an array of impressive beer halls and the
biggest beer garden of Austria. Warmly recommended to every visitor of Salzburg
by an unanimous vote of the Visit-Salzburg.net editorial team. Note that the
yellow building in the picture belongs to the
Müllner Bräu brewery and beer
halls. The beer garden can be found to the right of the picture.
