The Church of St. Hippolyth was mentioned in 1286 and built in 1340. The oldest parish bell (1556) is located here. Romanesque and Gothic building stock, altar and pulpit 17th century. The first mention of the church falls in the year 1288

The church hill of St. Hippolyt with its 758 meters is the highest and most striking elevation of the elongated ridge, which, falling steeply against the Etschtal valley around 400 meters, represents a natural protective wall for the settlement area of Völlan, Tisens and Prissian in the back.
Because of its unique view, the hill is known as the "royal lodge of the burgrave office".
St. Hippolyt is one of the best known and best researched prehistoric settlement areas in South Tyrol.
Important prehistoric settlement, numerous finds from the late Stone Age, Bronze and Iron Ages. Presumed location of the "Tesana" longobard castle mentioned in 590.

St. Hippolyt is one of the most famous mountain sanctuaries in Merano and was first mentioned in 1286.
It does not offer any sights, but a unique view of the Burggrafenamt. Coming from Tisens you can easily reach the small church via the Jesus contemplation path.

With 758 m, the hill on the St. Hippolytus is the highest point of the plateau Prissian, Tisens, Völlan dar. The great view of the lower lying villages has therefore earned him the title "Lodge of the Burggrafenamtes".
