Parish church St. Margaret, Parish church on hilltop in Kaprun, Austria.

The Parish Church of St. Margaret is a white-walled, neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic hall church on the Kirchbichl rock spur above Kaprun, at 785 m. Its square tower carries a steep grey shingled spire and a clock face with blue numerals on each side. The nave has a slanted grey roof and three tall arched windows, and a cross-shaped recess marks the lower front wall.

The church is first documented in 1409 as St. Margaretha auf dem Stein, a filial of Piesendorf, though its St. Margaret dedication suggests origins in the 12th century. It became an independent parish in 1862. In 1898 the dilapidated nave was rebuilt in a Neo-Romanesque-Neo-Gothic style by Ferdinand Ranggetiner, keeping the tower but removing its onion dome.

The church serves as a gathering place for weddings, funerals, and community celebrations that mark important moments in local life. The adjacent cemetery reflects the deep roots of families who have called Kaprun home for generations.

The church is best reached on foot via marked trails that start from several points in the village. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and allow time for the uphill walk, which takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on your pace.

From the church grounds, clear days reveal views all the way to the mountain reservoirs that reshape the landscape with their waters. These dams are part of a major hydroelectric project that changed how the valley generates power in modern times.
