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. ] ] ] ``` ] ...

Hall in Tirol - Old Town One of Tyrol's most beautiful towns awaits those embarking on a journey of discovery to the medieval town of Hall in Tirol. One of the best-preserved old towns, and also the largest in western Austria, it forms a successful symbiosis with modern architectural concepts such as the salt warehouse, the UMIT university, and the Parkhotel. The tasteful buildings of Hall's old town bear witness to its past as a prosperous city: In the Middle Ages, salt production made Hall the most important economic center in North Tyrol. At that time, the town was a crucial transshipment point for trade on the Inn River, and the princely mint, established in Hall in the mid-15th century, contributed significantly to its further economic growth.

The town hall of Hall in Tirol is one of the most important secular buildings in the city and is picturesquely situated on the Upper Town Square.

Hall in Tirol Town Hall The Hall in Tirol Town Hall is considered one of the most important buildings in the town. It is one of the few town halls from the Middle Ages that have largely been preserved and are still used as town halls today. It is a former "town castle" that was built at the beginning of the 14th century. The western part of the current building has been preserved from this period. In 1453, the building was expanded through a reconstruction. In 1485, the town had five more shops built at the town hall to complement the ten shops for craftsmen and grocers in the moat, which were subsequently leased. An adjacent orchard, which came into the town's possession with the town hall in 1406, served as a market square for the annual fairs. The town hall had a small room for the town council meetings and a large room for festivities.[1] The beamed ceiling of the council chamber, which is now one of the most popular wedding halls in Tyrol, dates back to 1492. There are coat of arms reliefs on the outer walls of the building.
