Parish Church of the Holy Cross (Pfarrkirche zum Heiligen Kreuz), Zirl

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roman Catholic parish church of Zirl is in the Unterdorf in the market town of Zirl in Tyrol. The parish church of the Holy Cross belongs to the deanery of Telfs in the diocese of Innsbruck. The church and the cemetery are listed monuments.

It was founded in the 19th century under the direction of Cons. Peter Alois Auer and Frühmesser Alois Moriggl built. The church painter Franz Plattner and Josef Arnold the Younger designed the entire interior with frescoes in powerful, bright colors. The work occupied the painter for a long time, for example the ceiling frescoes were created between 1862 and 1874. Also noteworthy are the abstract decorative motifs that completely cover the walls of the church, as well as the gilded pulpit.

The Zachäussingen in Zirl in front of the church has been part of the intangible cultural heritage in Austria since 2015.

The dominant use of the round arch ranks the building among the neo-Romanesque buildings of the 19th century. Materials and construction techniques of the time made it possible to install much larger windows than would have been possible originally in Romanesque architecture. The incoming sunlight brings out the frescoes all the more powerfully.

Gothic style elements can be found in the pointed arches of the altar and the pulpit, but these harmonize with the overall building.

The church vault adorn u. a. Depictions of the birth and resurrection of Christ. Immediately above the altar is the Holy Trinity, together with Mary, the prophets of the Old Testament, the four evangelists and surrounded by the people of the faithful.

The entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and the raising of Lazarus are found on both sides of the choir .

The artist succeeds in creating an impressive interplay between sunlight and fresco on the left side of the choir, which depicts Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Around noon, the sun's rays bathe the Messiah and the people in his immediate vicinity in an almost glaring light. Those waiting for him, desperately hoping, whose most urgent, all too understandable wish is of an earthly nature, remain – for the time being – shrouded in semi-darkness. The power and certainty of the coming salvation are thus presented together with worldly doubts, human toil and despair.

The neo-Gothic interior with the high altar, six side altars, pulpit, choir stalls and confessionals was created around 1850/1860.

The organ of the parish church goes back to a new building by Joseph Aigner (Schwaz) from the years 1851/52. The case , whose décor contains neo-Gothic elements, is typical of Aigner in terms of its design language and can easily be compared with other instruments in his workshop. The superstructure is divided in two so as not to completely cover the windows behind the organ. In 1948/49 and 1981 it was originally 30 registers comprehensive instrument rebuilt, both works were carried out by the company Reinisch-Pirchner (Steinach am Brenner). The work carried out in 1981 includes a.o. the expansion of the pedal range to 30 tones, as well as the renewal of the front pipes and the game system. The fronts of the manual lower keys are decorated with parchment strips decorated with gold in the Aigner manner. The organ has 28 registers, distributed over the Hauptwerk , Unterwerk and Pedal .
