Mariapfarr

The landscape around Mariapfarr is an alpine basin of meadows and wooded slopes in Salzburg’s Lungau, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. The village lies in the Taurach valley below the Niedere Tauern, where farming, hiking and winter sports remain part of regional life. Mariapfarr is closely linked to Joseph Mohr, who served here as a curate from 1815 to 1817 and wrote the words to “Silent Night” in 1816. The local parish church is now a basilica, while the Silent Night Museum recalls Mohr’s time in the community.
