Restoration of the Merano Parish Church and Altar Consecration
A report on the restoration work on the Merano parish church of St. Nicholas and the solemn altar consecration performed by Prince-Bishop Johann Nepomuk von Tschiderer on 25 September 1845. Alongside praise for restoring the Gothic spatial impression and the pulpit, the correspondent harshly criticizes the blue-tinted vaulting as contrary to the nature of Gothic sacred architecture.
