Description:
The Dreifaltigkeitskirche or Trinity Church is considered to be the most significant church in the "Neustadt" or "New City" near Linzergasse on the right side of the River Salzach relative to the Old City. It was the first major building by Fischer von Erlach, who also built the Kollegienkirche and the Markuskirche in the Old Town of Salzburg. The Trinity Church was built between 1694 and 1702, when Prince Archbishop Johan Ernst von Thun ordered the construction to house a seminar for young men in training to become priests. The architecture was inspired by Roman designs. Both towers were raised to their present form in 1757 after the town fire in 1818. The Dreifaltigkeitskirche is famous for a paining in its dome by Johann Michael Rottmayr, which depicts the coronation of the Virgin Mary with the Holy Trinity.
