St. Michael Parish Museum

In Tubre in the Val Monastero, near the Swiss border, several historically significant churches await you. St. John's Church, presumably the oldest building in the village, dates back to the 9th century and is famous for its Romanesque frescoes. Particularly noteworthy is the St. Christopher fresco on the north wall from the early 13th century - the oldest depiction of the saint in Tyrol.

Equally impressive are the late-Gothic Parish Church of St. Blaise and the adjacent St. Michael Cemetery Chapel. The latter was built in the 14th century and consecrated to Archangel Michael in 1383. Beneath the chapel lies a crypt, now used as a storage room.

In the altar apse, you can admire well-preserved frescoes from the 15th century. The chapel itself houses the St. Michael Parish Museum (Pfarrmuseum St. Michael), which displays 20 exceptional works of art. Since 2000, the museum has presented sacred treasures from the eight churches of Tubre. A highlight is the late-Gothic winged altarpiece from St. Martin's Church from around 1520.

How to get there: You'll find the St. Michael Parish Museum in the St. Michael Cemetery Chapel, right next to the St. Blaise Parish Church. Parking is available. Alternatively, you can take the 811 bus route, which runs between Malles and Tubre village.
