History
The church of Koppl, mentioned for the first time in the 13th century, was initially a subsidiary of the parish of Seekirchen. For centuries, the manor was owned by the bishops of Chiemsee. In 1823-24 Joseph Mohr (1792–1848), the lyricist of the famous Christmas carol "Silent Night", worked here as an assistant priest.
