Parish church St. Anthony

The St. Anthony Parish Church stands in the center of Hallein with its six-story tower and two expansive dome vaults in its interior structure.

Initial documentation of the church dates to 1206, when Hallein's settlement Mühlbach expanded due to the growth of local salt mining operations.

Franz Xaver Gruber, who composed Silent Night, performed musical pieces on the church organ, which underwent restoration in 2018.

The church maintains regular religious services and can be reached at Zechnerstraße 3, with contact available through telephone +43 6245 80287.

The church features a single-nave classical hall construction with dome vaults and includes a Gothic choir structure with an underground crypt.
