Pfarrkirche

Tyrol


At the Gothic Pfarrkirche, your eye is immediately drawn to its steep roof bearing 14,000 copper tiles. The web-vaulted interior purportedly harbours the largest symphonic organ in Tyrol, which is put to good use at the summer organ festival at 8pm on Mondays in July and August.
