| Top | | | Spital am Pyhrn is a resort full of tradition. It was here in the Ramesch caves that the oldest traces of settlements were found. In 1190 Bischop Otto II von Bamberg founded the Hospital am Pyhrn at the nearest largest farm to the Pyhrn Pass. In 1418 the Hospital was converted into a monastery for choir monchs. Thus a large cultural development began. Important artists from the Austrian baroque period worked together on the cathedral of Spital to create a harmonic work of art. | | Information:

The Heimathaus was originally a manor-house belonging to wirepullers and scythesmiths, today it accommodates the museum. Wrought iron window baskets hark back to the heyday of the "Black Counts". In addition to remarkable finds from Roman times, you can also view agricultural artefacts, an old classroom, a regional stone display and much more. The Bürgerstube is most interesting: Here you can look at old photos of the Pyhrn-Priel Region or study books from the museums library. (average length of visit approx. 1 hour).
