Franciscan Church

Fodor's Review:

Another outstanding monument from the 15th and 16th centuries in Schwaz is the treasure-filled Franciscan Church (Franziskanerkirche), founded in the early 16th century by Emperor Maximilian I. This may well be the mendicant order's most beautiful church in the Alpine region.
