The 1728 Baroque parish church in St. Johann in Tirol is notable for its Lüftlmalerei, the distinctive regional technique of painting trompe-l’oeil architectural and figural scenes directly on exterior plaster. The style creates the illusion of three-dimensional ornamentation on a flat facade, and the St. Johann church is one of the better examples in Tirol. The twin-towered church is visible across the village square and from the road approaching from the Wilder Kaiser. Free entry. On the Innsbruck-Kufstein rail line.
