Gem from the 12th century

A special witness from days long past is the castle chapel in the south of the Hocheppan castle complex, the so-called “Sistine Chapel of the Alps”. Although it was consecrated in the Middle Ages, around 1131, both its architecture and the paintings are almost complete and very well preserved. The Romanesque frescoes from the 13th century show typical motifs from the time the castle was built, such as a hunting scene or the famous “dumpling eater”. There are also frescoes with scenes from the lives of Jesus and the apostles, which are among the best preserved in Tyrol. The fact that we can marvel at them today is thanks to their uncovering in 1926, because they were painted over for centuries.

The castle chapel can be visited as part of a guided tour during the season.

The Hocheppan castle chapel is a cultural site on the “Alpine Romanesque Road”.
