    Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary, Schwaz

    The Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary is the largest Gothic hall church in Tyrol. The Munich sculptor Erasmus Grasser gave it its present appearance. Due to population growth in the late 15th century, the previous church was enlarged between 1490 and 1520, resulting in a four-aisled church with two main naves. A wooden wall divided the church interior: the left side for the townspeople and the right side for the miners – hence the two entrance doors. The roof, consisting of 10,000 hammered copper plates, testifies to the wealth of the silver mining region.
