From the 5th century BC, the area was settled by Celts, around 200 BC it became part of the Kingdom of Noricum, which was occupied by the Romans from 15 BC and became part of the Roman Empire around 50 AD. After the division of the kingdom, the current municipal area became part of Noricum Ripense around the year 300. In the 5th century, Roman rule collapsed, and in 488 Odoacer ordered the withdrawal of the Roman population from Noricum. In the 8th century, systematic Christianization began (see History of Christianity in Austria), the Archdiocese of Salzburg was founded by Rupert of Salzburg, and in 711 the monastery "Cella Maximiliana" was founded in Bischofshofen.

Pfarrwerfen was first mentioned in a deed of donation by Archbishop Gebhard von Helfenstein in 1074 (parochia s. Cyriaci, parish of St. Cyriak) and belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg since 1398.

With the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, Pfarrwerfen and Salzburg became part of Austria. On April 9, 1809, Austria began a war against France. As a result of the Austrian defeat, Salzburg temporarily fell to Bavaria (Peace of Schönbrunn, October 14), after the Congress of Vienna in 1816, Salzburg returned to Austria through the Treaty of Munich (April 14).

Beautiful cycle path along the Salzach - not far from Bischofshofen. From now on, cycling is very relaxed.
