This brutalist church was built from 1965 to 1967 according to plans by architect Norbert Heltschl. The freestanding, sculptural bell tower is particularly striking. A drinking water fountain is located directly next to the tower.

One of the many fountains worth seeing in the fountain town of Imst.

Memorial on a bench in front of St. John's Church for the founder of SOS Children's Villages. Hermann Gmeiner was born on June 23, 1919, in Alberschwende, Austria, into a large farming family in Vorarlberg. In 1949, Hermann Gmeiner founded the SOS Children's Villages association. That same year, he laid the foundation stone for the first house, called "Haus Frieden," in Imst, Tyrol.

This church was first mentioned in a charter from the foundation in 1304, but was already recorded elsewhere in 1267. Originally, the parish church had a narrower floor plan and octagonal pillars. It was first enlarged in 1350. In 1462, the foundation stone for the new Gothic building was laid. Between 1462 and 1475, the present choir was added. Between 1475 and 1493, the nave was built in its present form with the help of miners. The interior was given a Baroque makeover at the end of the 18th century; the reticulated vaults were removed and the frescoes on the exterior were painted over. The Baroque furnishings were almost completely lost in the great fire, but attempts were made to restore the interior to its Gothic form. In 1899, the tower roof was raised. In 1909 and 1912, the building was re-Gothicized; the west rose window on the façade was exposed and an organ loft was added. There are some remarkable frescoes on the outside of the church.

Worth seeing historic fountain on the way to the Rosengarten Gorge.

Entrance to the Rosengarten Gorge with rock formations into which residential buildings have been integrated. Historically, these houses, built into the rock, served as homes and workplaces. Their origins are closely linked to the geological composition of the Bergl, formed by the Inn Valley glacier some 26,000 years ago. The use of the rock as an integral part of the buildings not only provided protection from the elements but also natural insulation. Today, the Bergl houses are an important cultural heritage site in Imst and a popular photo opportunity for visitors. They symbolize historic architecture and the impressive ability of people to adapt to their natural environment. A walk through this district provides a fascinating insight into the history and lifestyles of past generations.
