Tips
The crowning glory of Ruhpolding's ecclesiastical buildings and the landmark in the valley of the White Traun River is the Catholic parish church of St. George, built in the Rococo style from 1738 to 1758. Its plans were drawn up by the Elector's court architect, Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer. The "Ruhpolding Madonna" on the right side altar, a figure from the early Romanesque period (13th century), is famous. The forerunners of St. George once stood high above the Bergfriedhof cemetery.
