Pfarrkirche St Wolfgang

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:11:24

It’s silent enough to hear a pin drop in the tiny village of Kefermarkt, home to the Pfarrkirche St Wolfgang . The pilgrimage church’s main claim to fame is its breathtaking Gothic Flügelaltar (winged altar). A masterpiece of craftsmanship, the limewood altarpiece towers 13.5m, with latticework fronds rising towards the ceiling. At the centre are three expressive figures, carved with great skill (left to right as you face them) : St Peter, St Wolfgang and St Christopher. The wings of the altar bear religious scenes in low relief.
