Architecture
Daniel Gran created the three ceiling frescos, the high altar painting, and the frescos in the Franz Xaver chapel. The wood-carved statue representing Saint Anne with Virgin Mary and the Christ Child dates back to 1510 and is attributed to Veit Stoss. The side altarpieces were executed by Kremser Schmidt. Christoph Tausch has responsibility for the spatial arrangement. The organ was made by the Austrian organ builder Johann Hencke (3 December 1697 Geseke – 24 September 1766 Vienna). St. Anne's Church is famous for its frescos by Daniel Gran. The topics of the frescoes are: • The Glory of St. Anne • The Glory of the Virgin Mary • The Glory of the new born Christ Child ==Gallery==
