"Die römisch-katholische Spitalskirche zum Heiligen Geist steht in der Maria-Theresien-Straße in der Innsbrucker Innenstadt.
Schon seit 1326 ist ein Stadtspital erwähnt, damals wegen der Ansteckungsgefahr noch außerhalb der Stadtmauern gelegen. Das Spital selbst wurde 1888 an seinem heutigen Standort übersiedelt.
Die Kirche wurde ab 1700 nach Plänen von Johann Martin Gumpp dem Älteren anstelle eines gotischen Vorgängerbaus errichtet. Die beiden Portale haben aufwendig geschnitzte Türen, das Innere ist durch reichen Stuck geprägt. Die Fresken wurden nach Bombenschäden des Zweiten Weltkriegs neu gemalt. In den Hochaltar von 1705 ist ein gotisches Kruzifix (um 1500) integriert.
Ab 17. September 2006 ist der Seelsorger dieser Kirche der römisch-katholische Priester und Hochschulprofessor Josef Wolsegger." - Quelle: Wikipedia
