Restoration

Priesterseminar Innsbruck

The windows of the Seminary Church were painted by the Feldkirch artist Martin Häusle in the course of the church's construction in 1955. The expressive figures and strong, dark colours show scenes from the Old and New Testaments.
In addition to countless glass breaks, the windows showed severe bulging, which could only be restored by a series of measures in the workshop.
