"Take an extraordinary ride on Lake Hallstatt with NAVIA, and turn back time. In a Zille, sister to those that transported the “white gold” from Hallstatt’s Salzberg, or Salt Mountain, into the wider world 500 years ago."

In 1859 the Protestant church was built, with construction lasting until 1863.

Before the current church, since the 30th of October 1785, a prayer house stood at the present-day mouth of the Mühlbach stream.

The church of the Assumption of Mary, also called Mary on the Mountain, is the Roman Catholic parish church of Hallstatt.

The first Catholic church was built no later than 1150. The tower of this church still stands. In 1320, the second, larger Romanesque church was added.

The bone house can be found on the right side of the catholic church, in the back of the cementary.
