    An unspoilt village, where agriculture still plays an important part - that is how this small settlement at the foot of the Nordkette mountain range would describe itself to the outside world today. Crib carvers, genuine Tyrolean Shrovetide customs, vegetable growers and committed amateur actors are responsible for creating throughout year a lively cultural scene and a commercial centre for the whole region.

    * Parish Church - Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary

    The Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Mariä Himmelfahrt) Parish Church was first mentioned in records in 1244. The parish church's celestial patronage history, however, suggests that it predates that year and archaeological excavations during restoration work in 1986 confirmed that view.
    Of particular significance in the creation of a historic atmosphere here are the ceiling frescoes by the Thaur Nazarene painter, Franz Xaver Prenlocher II, and also the decorative paintings by Michael Recheis. These were completed between 1878 and 1880 in warm, full-tone colours.

    * Church of St Vigilius

    It's still not certain whether the church is dedicated to St Vigil or St Vigilius. Early records are missing, and no extensive archaeological excavations have been carried out, so we cannot be absolutely sure of the church's precise origins.

    * Church of St Romedius (also referred to as the Schlosskirchl or Castle Church)

    Although no comprehensive archaeological excavations have been performed, it can be safely assumed that a Romanesque-style church once stood on the site of today's church, as the earlier crypt has survived. Legacy endowments to the church are recorded in documents for the years 1378 and 1379. In 1625 the old church was so dilapidated that a new church had to be built and this was completed in 1640. The church's present appearance dates from 1778/79 and its construction is attributed to the court master builder, Michael Umhauser. The last and most comprehensive structural repair and restoration was carried out in 1993/94.

    * Church of St Loretto

    This architecturally rather plain church, past which heavy volumes of traffic flow, was endowed by Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol in 1589. The chapel was consecrated in the same year and a chaplaincy was endowed a year later. The house next door, now a tavern, was built in 1723 by court architect Georg Anton Gumpp as a rectory.

    Christ on a Donkey procession

    Thaur, in particular, with its tradition of crib-carving, the "Mullerlaufen" Shrovetide characters and the famous Palm procession, has made quite a name for itself.

    For more than 200 years, a traditional Christ on a Donkey procession has been staged in Thaur. This custom, which used to be performed in many places, was successfully revived in Hall a few decades ago.

    Towards the end of the Middle Ages, almost every village had its own palm donkey for the Palm procession, a ritual symbolising Christ's arrival in Jerusalem. Often it was a life-sized model donkey, upon which a carving of Christ was often seated. The procession with the palm donkey was once widespread not only in the southern parts of the German-speaking world, but also in some Dutch and Belgian regions.

    People also used to sit on a donkey among "Christ's followers". In the first year after their election, Salzburg's archbishops would join in the palm procession to the Nonnbergkirche − not on a lowly donkey, but on a white horse.

    According to a report of 1785, in the area around Salzburg and in southern Bavaria, children were allowed to ride on a live palm donkey until the Council of Cardinals banned the "Donkey Festival". Usually wooden donkeys, decoratively adorned and with a seated Christ figure, were placed on a float and pulled along in the procession.
