this wooden ornament decorates the door to maria bühel, a pilgrimage church dating back to the 17th century. located not far away from the holy-night-chapel in oberndorf, austria, it is a quiet place, not getting that tourist attention as the former one.
the architecture and the baroque paintings in the inside are marvellous, and i have decided to go there again early in the morning, by foot from the river salzach, following the path of the raftsmen for whom this church was built 4 centuries ago. and hopefully i will find the sacristan then to open the barrier and allow an unrestricted view of the paintings and statues.
great detail Markus, great job.
beautiful and full of details….nice
