Pfarrkirche Mülln

The Pfarrkirche Mülln stands on the northern spur of the Mönchsberg in Salzburg’s old suburb of Mülln. Built as a Gothic hall church, it was completed in 1453 and elevated to parish status around 1460. The church was later remodelled in the Baroque style during the 18th century while retaining its Gothic core. The church is notable for its late Gothic Madonna, a revered figure since 1453, and its rich Baroque furnishings. The high altar, designed by Vinzenz Fischer and executed by Lorenz Wieser, features the Madonna flanked by saints and allegorical figures. The organ, rebuilt in 2003 by Kögler to a Baroque specification, complements the church’s historic interior. Inside, the four-bay nave displays Baroque ceilings over Gothic ribbed vaults, adorned with monograms and frescoes. The tower, altered in the 17th century, bears the coat of arms of Max Gandolf von Kuenburg. Nearby, the former Augustinian monastery houses Austria’s largest beer hall, the Augustiner Bräustübl.
