Fischerkanzel

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:14:42

Traunkirchen is chiefly famous for the wooden Fischerkanzel in the Pfarrkirche. This was carved in 1753 and depicts the miracle of the fishes, with the apostles standing in a tub-shaped boat and hauling in fish-laden nets. The composition, colours (mostly silver and gold) and detail (even down to wriggling, bug-eyed fish) create a vivid impression.
