Tips from the Community
St. Prokulus Church, Naturns / Naturno A Central European gem The outwardly unassuming St. Prokulus Church holds an priceless treasure inside: Impressive wall paintings from the late 8th century, making the church one of the most significant art treasures in Central Europe. In addition to the pre-Romanesque frescoes, the church is also equipped with Gothic frescoes from the 14th century. The depiction of the Schutzmantelchristus (Christ with the protective mantle) is considered a special feature. Those Gothic frescoes, which covered the oldest frescoes, were removed and are now exhibited as originals in the Prokulus Museum opposite. The most famous depiction from the church is probably "Der Schaukler" (The Rocker), whose identification remains unclear to this day. Is it Saint Prokulus fleeing from Verona, or Saint Paul fleeing from Damascus? Come by and see for yourself.
