Bressanone - New Cathedral Chapter
|
|
The Augustinian New Canonical Cathedral Chapter was founded in 1124 and completely renewed only fifty years later. There are several blocks of buildings enclosing two courtyards. At the entrance to the monastic precinct stands the Romanesque Chapel of St Michael ("Engelsburg" or Castle of the Angels), a unique Romanesque round building with battlements.
An arched gateway leads into the monastery courtyard proper where stands a pretty octagonal Renaissance fountain with its canopy decorated with frescoes.
