The Erhardkirche is the Parish church of the Nonntal district of Salzburg and the present Baroque building was constructed between 1685 and 1689 by Giovanni Gaspare Zuccalli under the orders of Prince Archbishop Max Gandolf. There had been a chapel and leper hospital on this site since the 13th century. The church is one of the architectural gems of Salzburg and has a richly decorated cupola with terracotta stucco work and paintings depicting scenes from the life of St. Erhard.
