Schwaz

Silver Kingdom

Single mining metropolis

Cultural history

The importance of Schwaz is based on the extraordinary silver and copper deposits in the heyday around 1500, when 15,000 miners and smelters pursued their sweaty work here. The economic wealth of the silver town in the 15th and 16th centuries also had a cultural impact that was as dazzling as it was positive.
