Culture between the parish church and Moos Church

The parish church of St. Stephen in Niederdorf is a late Baroque building dating from 1792 to 1796. Next to the church steps of the parish church stands a Gothic double chapel from the 15th century. Both buildings add historical accents to the townscape and are suitable for a cultural walk focusing on architecture and local history.

The Church of St. Magdalena in the Moos (Moos Church) was built in 1490 through a foundation by Countess Paula of Gonzaga, the wife of Margrave Leonhard of Gorizia. Its specific founding date and connection with an important historical figure make it another noteworthy destination for visitors interested in culture.

Tourism history at Haus Wassermann

The Hochpustertal Tourism Museum at Haus Wassermann documents the history of tourism in the Hochpustertal. The museum also presents the construction of the railway line in the Puster Valley, which contributed to the development of modern tourism. A separate room is dedicated to the early development of alpine sports. This means that a stay in Niederdorf can also be combined with insights into the history of travel, regional accessibility and alpine sports.
