A	Alois Perl on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Die Johannes Kapelle in Pürgg wurde vor ca. 900 Jahren erbaut. In der Kapelle sind romanische Fresken welche vor ca. 840 Jahren im Auftrag des Arche Diakon Heinrich von Grauscharn, von Byzantinischen Künstlern , welche im Salzburger Kunstkreis waren gestaltet. Die romanischen Fresken gelten heute als wertvolle historische Kunstwerke. The Johannes Chapel in Pürgg was built around 900 years ago. In the chapel there are Romanesque frescoes which were created around 840 years ago by order of the ark deacon Heinrich von Grauscharn, by Byzantine artists who were in the Salzburg art circle. The Romanesque frescoes are now considered valuable historical works of art.
J	Jordi Blancafort on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Aquesta impressionant capella dalt d'un turó de l'agradable poble de Pürgg s'ha de combinar amb la visita a l'església parroquial. No és d'estranyar que aquest poble sigui considerat com "el bressol d'Estíria" fixant-nos en els frescos d'aquest preciós i íntim temple. Narren una lluita medieval basant-se en una faula d'Esop sobre els forts (gats) i els més vulnerables (els ratolins). També hi ha nombroses referències i simbologia eclesiàstiques. Els frescos estan força ben conservats, policromia inclosa. Sobta trobar aquesta meravella en un país majoritàriament barroc. Tant de bo que aquest poble i aquestes esglésies continuïn sent un tresor poc freqüentat i tan tranquil com fins avui d'aquesta part d'Estíria. Al moment i l'època de visitar-la era oberta fins a les 17h! This impressive chapel on a hill in the pleasant town of Pürgg has to be combined with the visit to the parochial church. It is not surprising that this town is considered "the cradle of Styria" paying attention to the frescoes of this precious and intimate temple. They narrate a medieval battle based on a fable of Esop on the forts (cats) and the most vulnerable (the mice). There are also numerous ecclesiastical references and symbols. The frescoes are quite well preserved, including polychrome. Suddenly finding this wonder in a mostly baroque country. I hope that this town and these churches continue to be a treasure that is not very frequented and so calm as to this part of Styria today. At the time and time of visiting it was open until 5:00 PM!
