Saint Barbara

The wooden sculpture of Saint Barbara, patron saint of miners and railway workers, was carved by Johann Baptist Moroder in 1914. It was originally located in a specially designed niche above the former railway tunnel behind Ortisei parish church. The original is now in Museum Gherdëina, and a bronze copy is located near the old locomotive in Bahnhofstraße in Ortisei. 

This cultural asset is part of the tour "Ortisei: a stroll through the village centre and its history".
