Museum "Silent Night, Holy Night"

This small inconspicuous log cabin wrote music history. When the Zillertal organ builder Karl Mauracher came across the lyrics and sheet music of the Christmas carol "Silent Night, Holy Night" during a repair in Salzburg in the 19th century, he took it to the Zillertal, where he rehearsed it with the church choir. At the beginning of the 19th century, Rainer and Strasser carried it from the Zillertal to Europe and to the rest of the world.
