history
The village name was first mentioned in 1260 as "Roupen", but settlement began around 3,000 years ago, as finds in the area of the "Burschl" prove. Already in 1337 a "Lienhardskirche" was mentioned in Roppen, which was looked after from Imst, from 1534 to 1745 the chaplain in Karres was responsible for the community. In 1745 Roppen received its own curate and has only been its own parish since then.
