Innsbruck - Wilten Basilica

(Local Name: Stift Wilten) Opposite Innsbruck's Wilten Parish Church is sited the large complex of buildings (remodeled in Baroque style 1670-95) of Stift Wilten, a Premonstratensian abbey founded in 1138. The church (1651-65) has in the porch a large Gothic figure of the giant Haymon, to whom legend attributes a share in the foundation of the monastery. In the pediment above the high altar is the "Throne of Solomon".
