Schlosskirche Mirabell - Mirabell Palace Church
Directly next to the main entrance to Mirabell Palace is the entrance to the Mirabell Palace Church. This Salzburg treasure is best enjoyed as part of "Music at Mirabell".
Besides the grand marble staircase and the magnificent marble hall, the palace church is one of the highlights of Mirabell Palace. Decorated entirely in white and gold and with walls entirely covered in marble stucco, the palace chapel exudes noble elegance. The magnificent high altar (1722) reaches up to the dome and is made of grey and pink marble.
Mirabell Palace was built by Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau in 1606, when there was also a chapel in the palace. In the course of major alterations in the 1720s, the basis for today's church was created. In the town fire of 1818, the chapel was partially destroyed and had to be rebuilt.
