Chiesa di San Nicolò

The former parish church of Gries was first mentioned in 1141, when it was a Romanesque church. Later renovated in Gothic style, Romanesque elements, such as a crucifix dating from the 13th century, are still to be found inside the church. Still inside, the triptych altar made of carved wood is a work of the famous Tyrolean sculptor Michael Pacher (1435-1498).

Bolzano Cathedral is based on the remains of a 4th-century Early Christian church, which was replaced by medieval churches in the 8th and 11th centuries, and by the present church in late Gothic style in 1519. Bolzano Cathedral was badly damaged by Allied bombing in 1944, and its restoration in 1948 led to the recovery of the three old churches that stood on the site.

The Heiligkreuz church was built in 1804 and restored in 1976. The tower stands at the head of the choir and has flat arched windows and an octagonal transition to the onion dome. The gabled façade has a scrolled gable above a continuous main cornice. The three-bay nave is followed by a slightly indented basket-arched choir. Ludwig Sturm painted the vault in 1936.
