history
The oldest traces of the settlement of Kirchberg go back to prehistoric times, namely to the younger Bronze Age (1100–900 BC). Around the middle of the 6th century, the Bavarian invasion began .
In 902, the royal ministerial Radolt gave the Prichsental with Sperten or Kirchberg to the bishops of Regensburg , who had it administered by bailiffs. In 1241 Sperten was first mentioned as the name of the village under the "Chirchberg". 1333 is spoken of the "community of the parish people of Sperten". In 1377 Bishop Conrad VI pledged it . from Haimberg the Brixental with Kirchberg to Bishop Friedrich von Chiemsee . In 1380 he sold it to the Archbishop of Salzburg against payment of 18,000 Hungarian guilders with the reservation of repurchase and in 1385 against a payment of a further 8,000 Hungarian guilders . In 1816 the unification of the Brixental was decided and Kirchberg in Tirol became part of Salzburg.
Founding legend
In 1332 a chapel dedicated to St. Michael is mentioned for the first time as a branch church of the mother parish Brixen im Thale , which was built in the 13th century and is located in Sperten (Spertendorf is located at the foot of the Rauhen Kopf, scattered over the entire Kirchberger Sonnberg) under the "Chirperg “Found. The patronage at that time seems to be related to the cemetery mentioned in 1333 .
According to legend , the small chapel under the "Chirchperg" should have been expanded or rebuilt. Even before a new building was built, workers had cut shingles so that the new nave and tower could later be covered. Suddenly pigeons came flying in, grabbed some shingles and flew with them on the Kirchberg above the village. After a short time, the parishioners of Sperten discovered the clapboard on the mountain and saw it as a sign from God to build the church in this place. The church still towers over the village like a protector on the mountain. From 1426 St. Ulrich von Augsburg appears for the first time as co-patron, who finally ousted St. Michael as main patron.

In 1511 the church was rebuilt in the Gothic style on the Kirchberg. The 32 m long, 11 m wide and around 12 m high long house has remained unchanged to this day. On the north-east side is the approximately 40 m high and narrow-looking tower with a green pointed roof , which shows the larger than life Madonna and Child Jesus painted by the Kirchberg church painter Michael Lackner on the north side . The sacristy is built on the southeast side . The church windows are quite small and end with a round arch. The paint is white with yellow contours. At the end of the 20th century, the architect Clemens Holzmeister planned an extension. The church was expanded to include a vestibule and two halls in the west entrance area. The church is surrounded by a cemetery.
