Wilten Basilica & Abbey
Basilika Wilten / Stift Wilten
Often called the most beautiful Rococo church in Tyrol. Its pale yellow façade and ornate stucco decoration are exquisite, and across the street stands the centuries-old Premonstratensian abbey.
Wilten Basilica was completed between 1751 and 1756. Its exterior alternates pale yellow and white, and inside, the Rococo stucco and ceiling frescoes by Franz Xaver Feichtmayr and other masters are ornate yet bright. Across the road stands Wilten Abbey, founded in 1138. In front of the abbey church is a statue of the legendary giant Haymon. Both are free to visit. The basilica sits at the foot of the Bergisel ski jump, so it can be visited together with the ski jump and the Tirol Panorama.
