Parish Church of St. Helena
Place: Rio di Pusteria
Bearing numerous astonishing frescos dating back to the 15th century, this parish church originally from the 13th century also offers a modern, round addition built in 1975. Gravestones of the nobility and other important citizens can be seen along the church wall while the 1497 tall stone on the opposite side of the church’s main portal was originally from the Mühlbacher Klause fortress. Old millstones found in the church square are a memorial to the original significance of the town and of its name.
