The church in Ramsau - also known under the name "Ramsauer Kirchl" - attracts attention from afar. The simple building in the classical style was built in 1841 and consecrated in 1843. The highlight of the Ramsau church is the picture of the "Sorrowful Mother of God", which adorns the wall above the high altar. Since it was renovated in 1997, it has shone in new splendor. The old house of the Strasser farmers in Mayrhofen is nostalgic, steeped in history and full of tradition. For it was here that the Strasser children lived, who made the Christmas carol "Silent Night, Holy Night" famous all over the world with their concerts. When you enter the house, you are transported back to the time 300 years ago. The entire house - inside with the small parlors, outside with smoke-blackened beams and tiny window shutters - gives an insight into the rural life of the farmers and the history of the Strasser children.
