St. Lawrence Church - Old Parish Church, Kirchplatz, Wattens The origins of St. Lawrence Church date back to at least 700 AD. Archaeological excavations in 1984 uncovered the remains of this first predecessor church, likely built in the 7th century. The site of this church, and simultaneously the center of the village, was a small hill that rose from the alluvial fan deposited by the Wattenbach stream over millennia. Although the first documented consecration of a church in Wattens is only recorded in 1318, the exposed foundations now indicate that the church is considerably older and possibly dates back to the late Roman period (5th century). This is further supported by the chosen patronage of the early Christian Roman martyr, St. Lawrence. The church, originally built in 1318, had likely become too small due to population growth during the heyday of mining. Around 1495-1500, a late Gothic structure by Jobst Kiesel was constructed. Following a devastating fire in 1809, the existing church building was largely rebuilt in the Neoclassical style by Franz Josef Kerle in 1810/11, incorporating usable foundations and remnants of the burned-out church. It was consecrated on February 27, 1820. The striking tower dome, still reminiscent of Baroque models, was added in 1834. In 1935, a St. Lawrence Association was founded with the aim of expanding the parish church. This involved planning a new building on the east side of the nave, extending northward, but this plan was never realized. ] ] ] ``` ] ...

Inn - Three Countries - One River The Inn River connects Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. It rises in the Swiss Engadine, flows through parts of Austria and Bavaria, and flows into the Danube near Passau. Its catchment area, at over 26,000 square kilometers, is the second largest in Austria. Numerous settlements have developed along its course. The Inn River is the central lifeline of these regions. The Inn River rises at an altitude of 2,484 meters in the Swiss canton of Graubünden at the Lunghin Pass near Maloja, near Lake Lunghin. From there, it plunges as a small mountain stream almost 700 meters into the valley, where it flows into Lake Sils. On its further course, the Inn flows through Lake Silvaplana/Champère and Lake Moritz. The Flaz River flows into the Inn near the municipality of Samedan. This tributary carries large amounts of suspended solids from the Bernina Massif into the Inn. In the Lower Engadine, the Inn flows through several gorges with a significantly steeper gradient. Due to the diversion of large portions of its runoff for energy generation, the wild river has regained the character of a small mountain stream in places.
