Experience Silent Night Chapel & Museum Day Trips & Sightseeing Tours

Back on Dec. 24, 1818, the classic Christmas carol "Silent Night" was performed for the first time at the former St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf, Austria. Silent Night Chapel & Museum commemorates the famous holiday song, its composer Franz Xaver Gruber and its writer Joseph Mohr. The octagon-shaped chapel was constructed on the St. Nicholas Church site from 1924-36. The museum is situated right next to the chapel. The festive site is especially popular on Christmas Eve when thousands of tourists travel there to celebrate the holiday.
