The impressive Dreifaltigkeitskirche (Holy Trinity Church) is part of a group of buildings including the Seminary and St. Virgil's College near Schloss Mirabell in Salzburg.
Constructed in 1694 by the famous Baroque master builder Fischer von Erlach, Holy Trinity Church is the most significant eye-catcher of the small square it overlooks.
With its twin towers and sweeping facade, the exterior is among the most excellent examples of the unexaggerated Baroque style. Inside, a fresco by Johann Michael Rottmayr is worth seeing.
For another Salzburg masterpiece by Erlach, see the Collegiate Church.
