The red sandstone facade of St. Ignatius’s rises up in the midst of the low houses of the old city in Kapuzinerstrasse. It is decorated with grey sandstone figures, including the patron saint of the church and martyr, St. Ignatius of Antioch (died after 110). The church was constructed between 1763 and 1774 to the plans of Johann Peter Jäger, namely in place of the old church of a suburb enclosed within the city wall after 1200. The classicist organ casing (1774-81) above the main entrance is very worth seeing, the organ itself dates from 1837.
