Admission Fee: €1.00
Hours: Daily from 10 am-6 pm

Located in the lovely little village of Halstatt, the Pfarrkirche and its crowded cemetery offer in them an extraordinary visit. In fact, this is a cemetery so crowded that burial here is only temporary. After approximately 10 years of decomposition time, the bones are cleared out and – after the town gravedigger decoratively paints the skull – filed away in the Beinhaus.
