Kitzbühel Church Hill
The parish church of St. Andreas, located on the church hill at the foot of the Lebenberg, was consecrated in 1506.
The Church of Our Lady on the church hill outside the historic city center was built in the 14th century as a two-story chapel, the basement of which served as an ossuary. It only received its characteristic 48 m high, massive tower between 1566 and 1569.
The Hospital Church is a late classicist, barrel-vaulted building. Inside is the altarpiece by Simon Benedikt Faistenberger (The Holy Trinity, around 1740) and the almost life-size, colorful group "Our Lord on the Stairs".

Raises strikingly over the secular area of Kitzbühel. There are two churches here: St. Andreas (massive building, narrow tower) and the Liebfrauenkirche (small building, massive tower🤔). The graves of the skiing legend Toni Sailer and Tibet researcher Peter Aufschnaiter can be found in the cemetery.
