St. Hippolytus Pfarrkirche (St. Hippolytus Parish Church), Zell am See (must see)

The parish church of Saint Hyppolitus is the symbol of Zell-am-See's old town and is the oldest church in the Pinzgau municipality, with its first mention dating back to the 13th century. This impressive medieval structure features Romanesque style, yet with Gothic transformations and additions that were placed over the centuries. The church has three naves and used to have a Gothic vault, which in 1898 was replaced by a flat wooden ceiling. The gem of the church, which is also one of the most beautiful and precious monuments of the region, is the church's gallery with its magnificent balustrade. The gallery is based on four different pillars carved from selected precious marble. The arched Gothic decorations feature carved figures of Saint Hippolytus and Florian. The walls are decorated with original frescoes from the 14th to 17th centuries. The most recognizable feature is the church's dominating tower. It is 36 meters high and is decorated with a gabled roof and various Gothic friezes.
