The city hall

The city hall was built according to the plan of architect Jörg Kölderer. Still today it witnesses the richness and classical urban design of the modern period. In addition to the original gothic hall, where the town council still meets today, it is worth visiting the inner courtyard with a copy of the Stele of God Mithra.

The Holy Ghost Church

The church is located in the main square in Vipiteno and it's one of the best preserved gothic churches in Südtirol. The frescoes, which are strongly influenced by the style of Giotto di Bondone's works, are: the proclamation, the Mount of Olives, the Kiss of Judas, Christ in front of Pilate, the crowning of thorns, the resurrection of Christ and, on the wall to west, the Universal Judgment.

The Multscher and City Museum

The museum houses the altar boards of the famous painter Hans Multscher of Ulm, and other fragments that once adorned the parish church. Also interesting are the chambers where once the Teutonic Knights masters lived and the adjacent Church of St. Elisabeth, which is accessible only by the museum.
