history

The name Ried means "swampy area", but rich Bronze Age and Roman finds indicate an early settlement. The village was built around a tower from which the transit route was monitored. The first documentary mentions are from the years 1115–1122, when ownership of " Rieden " was transferred to the Rottenbuch monastery .

Duke Sigmund "the rich in coins" had the tower expanded into a hunting lodge, whereupon it was named Sigmundsried . From 1550, Sigmundsried Castle was the administrative center and seat of the court , which was relocated to the district capital Landeck in 1978 . Coat of arms and tendril paintings from the 16th century can be seen in the entrance hall.

The parish church was first mentioned in a document in 1397 and can be admired today in the Baroque style .

Today, Ried is a two-season tourist community (with the surrounding ski areas of Fendels , Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis) and an important employer for the entire region. Ried was originally the center of the judicial district of Ried in Tirol and the seat of the district court Ried in Tirol , but on January 1, 1978 it was added to the judicial district of Landeck.

Ried is on the long-distance cycle path , which runs as the Via Claudia Augusta along an ancient Roman road of the same name .
