Achenkirch is a resort in Tyrol. The community is located in the Achental north of the Achensee.
background
The municipality of Achenkirch is quite elongated in the northern part of the Achental and consists of the center and numerous districts, hamlets and Einödhofen. The center of the village is already a good three kilometers north of the end of the lake, while the northernmost parts of the village reach the Achenpass Bavaria and the German state border.
A church in the place of today's parish church is mentioned in a deed of donation as early as 1120 and is still referred to as a parish in the Emaus valley. The name Achenkirch soon became common, however, since 1313 the Achental has been mentioned as a separate local community. The current political community emerged from the Bavarian administrative reform of 1811, when Tyrol was temporarily part of Bavaria. In 1867, the municipality of Achental was then assigned to the Schwaz district administration.
Today tourism is the most important branch of business in the town in both summer and winter.
