  TourMyCountry.com - Sightseeing Guide and Travel Information for Schwaz in Tirol & Stans
Schwaz is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tyrol and has been a power-hub ever since the Middle Ages.

 Show Mines of Austria: Schwazer Silberbergwerk
Schwaz with its very rich ores was a success story in the Middle Ages: only twenty years after the start and for about 120 years it was the biggest silver mine of the world.
The silver ore was mined by more than 10,000 workers and so the town of Schwaz was the second largest in Austria.
The comedown of the Schwaz mining came around 1550, when several European wars influenced trade and American mines produced cheaper silver, e.g.

The previous church in Schwaz, which dated from the 1300s, was deemed too small as the town grew with the silver mining here, so a new larger church was begun in 1478.
However, within a couple of decades that church was too small, again because of the growing population associated with mining, and the plan of the church was enlarged to the present hall-church format, broader and more open than Gothic churches.
