Romediuskirche, Romanesque-origin pilgrimage church in Thaur, Austria

The Romediuskirche stands near the Thaur castle ruin on the plateau edge, built over a Romanesque double chapel of which the southern side wall and the lower church survive. The lower church was uncovered in the early 17th century and holds an altar to Saint Romedius. A new church building followed at the end of the 18th century, with the hermit's house west of it.

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 church stands on the plateau just below the Thaur castle ruin, and the Romedius pilgrimage route starts here. The lower church and crypt from the Romanesque double chapel survive beside the 18th-century nave, so visitors move between two building phases on uneven ground. The Kreuzweg with its stations, built 1872–1875 by painter Franz Xaver Pernlochner with help from Thaur residents, leads up to the site.

The church stands on the site of a Romanesque double chapel, apparently the old castle chapel; its southern side wall at the edge of the plateau and the lower church survive. The parish priest Georg Meringer had a hermitage built and was buried in the crypt in 1652. The last hermit, Frater Felix Zimmerling (1812–1869), built his hermitage above the old crypt.
