Culture in the Parish Church

A defining cultural landmark is the parish church of Kirchheim. The presbytery and the Chapel of St Mary were given a Baroque makeover in 1763. The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The historic organ also offers a remarkable detail: the formerly concealed wooden pipes at the back are visible on the gallery. Anyone interested in sacred architecture, regional history and craftsmanship will find a specific reason here to experience Kirchheim as more than just a place to pass through.

Cycling Trails and Circular Tours

Several clearly designated points of interest are available for planning a cycling trip. The Hildegard von Bingen educational trail leads from Kirchheim to Kraxenberg along the Roman Cycling Trail. The Kirchheim im Innkreis rest area is also located on the Roman Cycling Trail and invites cyclists to stop and recharge at any time.
