Culture. In the heart of the Alps

The Hall-Wattens region is rich in cultural heritage from all eras. Whether it is the lovingly preserved old town of Hall in Tirol, Hasegg Castle with its Münzerturm and the Museum of Hall Mint, the world-famous Swarovski Crystal Worlds, the castle plays at the Thaur ruins, or the many churches and monasteries found in the region’s traditional villages – culture lovers are sure to have an interesting and unforgettable time in the region east of Innsbruck.

In recent years, however, the region has made a name for itself not only as a place with many cultural monuments, but also as a venue for high-calibre cultural events. One example is the “Easter Festival”, which takes place every spring in collaboration with Innsbruck. The "Kulturlabor Stromboli" and the "Galerie St. Barbara" in Hall organise interesting theatre, art and cultural events throughout the year, which enrich the entire region.

The 700-year-old town is located 10 km east of Innsbruck and was the largest and most significant town in North Tyrol during the Middle Ages. Rich salt deposits allowed the town to flourish as early as the 13th century. When in the 15th century the princely mint from Meran in South Tyrol was moved to Hall, the importance of the town grew further. In the year 1486, the first thaler in the world was minted in Hall.

At the center of the old town is one of the most beautiful squares in Austria, the Upper Town Square. Noteworthy are the late Gothic parish church of St. Nicholas, the town hall, and the Magdalene Chapel.
