Parish church and art
The Chiesa Parrocchiale di Riva di Tures is dedicated to Saint Wolfgang and is one of the few churches in the Province of Bolzano built in the Neo-Gothic style between 1908 and 1911. The triumphal arch features Art Nouveau frescoes by Emanuel Raffeiner of Schwaz. The construction period and architectural style, on the one hand, and the frescoes, on the other, offer different points of interest: the construction period places the church as a building in context, while the frescoes add an artistic dimension through the decoration of the triumphal arch. If you would like to take architecture and art into account alongside activities, the church's dedication, construction period and frescoes offer specific details about the parish church.
