Romediuskirche

The Romediuskirche is a church building in Thaur situated on a hilltop and combining Gothic architectural elements with a baroque altar. The structure displays tall windows with stained glass and retains the southern wall and lower church from an earlier Romanesque period.

The building was constructed on the foundations of a Romanesque double chapel and preserves structures from that early period. In 1652, Pastor Georg Meringer, who had established a hermitage beside the building, was buried in a crypt beneath the church.

The Romediuskirche marks the starting point of the Romedius pilgrimage route and houses religious ceremonies throughout the ecclesiastical calendar.

The site is open for daily visits and provides access to a protected monument with multiple levels and rooms to explore. The hilltop location offers a vantage point over the surroundings and proximity to other attractions in the region.

The building marks the starting point of the Romedius pilgrimage route, a path that connects visitors to various locations linked to the story of Saint Romedius. Pilgrims and walkers regularly use this route to experience the spiritual landscape of the region.
