Hofkirche

Around 735/736, southern German nobles founded a small monastery at the site of today's Hof area, which was dedicated to St Mauritius. Around 1135, the autonomous monastery was attached to the Provostship of Murbach (Alsace) and St Leger was named patron of the church. In 1291, the Abbey of Murbach was forced to sell the Provost's Church and its belongings to the Habsburgs. In 1332, Lucerne joined the Helvetic Confederation. By 1433, the City of Lucerne had regained its rights from the Habsburgs, including those affecting the mo- nastery. In 1455/56, the Benedictine monastery was converted into a convent of Canon Regulars. Since then, the Canon Regulars have devoted themselves to the Liturgy of the Hours every day in the mornings and evenings. On Easter Sunday 1633, the church was burned to its foundations. The Jesuit Brother Ja- kob Kurrer from Ingolstadt was charged with the reconstruction of the church. Its consecration took place after the installation of the art works in 1644.

This church’s spires are the first thing you see when you leave the train station. It is an easy flat walk there, until you reach the stairs to the church. It is very peaceful and beautiful.

Stiftskirche St. Michael

Reviewed By decline421

Anyone interested in or knowledgeable about Church architecture can't fail to be amazed by this Rococo gem. Founded on a Romanesque site this mid 18th century gem is immaculately conserved. Amazing choir stalls, font, pulpit and many other features it also has three sets of organ pipes (two synchronised) a medieval treasury and a Baroque treasury - as well as a Romanesque crypt under the altar. It is quite exceptional and a must for those who value and appreciate.....
