It was an important trading town for salt and grain, had its own mint, and was a military base for the Bavarian forces to keep Mühldorf a. Inn, a rivaling town under the control of the bishop of Salzburg, in check. Town square, the large gothic church Saint Nikolaus, and the town museum are a must-see.
