Parish Church of St. Nicholas, Hall in Tirol

Hall was an exploding industrial settlement in the 13th and 14th centuries due to salt mining in the Hall Valley. This led to the prosperity of Hall, which was elevated to city status in 1303, and prompted the citizens to build a large and representative church.

The patronage of St. Nicholas recalls the importance of shipping on the Inn, which was an important economic factor for the city of Hall until the railway was built in the 19th century. The old Roman road that led north from Verona ended in Hall.

- First church building consecrated in 1281

- Later extensions

- Church tower rebuilt in baroque style after earthquake of 1670 (1676)

- Ceiling frescoes by Josef Adam Mölk 1751/52

- Early baroque (formerly) high altar

The Parish Church of St. Nicholas is located in the heart of the old salt town, a defining feature of the cityscape. Its mighty tower marks the town center. The interior of this large Gothic hall church, one of the most important in the country, is decorated with beautiful and magnificent works of art.

Absolutely worth seeing!
