Seminary of Brixen/Bressanone

Hearing God's call since 1607

The Seminary of Brixen/Bressanone is located in the heart of the old town on the "Seminarplatz" directly behind the Brixen Cathedral. For more than 400 years it has been the training centre for future Catholic priests of the diocese of Bozen-Brixen. Its historical library and the Holy Cross Church are masterpieces of late Baroque architecture. The seminary also rents out rooms to guests throughout the year, who can find peace and quiet in this ecclesiastical house.
