Burg Hasegg
South of the medieval centre is the ivy-clad Burg Hasegg, where a spiral staircase coils up to the 5th floor for far-reaching views over Hall. The castle had a 300-year career as a mint for silver Thalers (coins, the root of the modern word 'dollar'), and this history is unravelled in the Münze Hall, displaying water-driven and hammer-striking techniques. Audio guides are included in the price and kids can mint their own coin.

Pfarrkirche
Directly across the square from the Rathaud, the spire of the 13th-century Pfarrkirche rises skywards. The highlight is the Waldaufkapelle, home to Florian Waldauf's grisly collection of 45 skulls and 12 bones, picked from the remains of minor saints. Each rests on embroidered cushions, capped with veils and elaborate headdresses, reminiscent of spiked haloes; the whole effect is both repulsive and enthralling.
