== History == Kirchdorf takes its name from its church which is the oldest in the district. As early as the late 2nd/early 3rd century A.D. a Roman villa stood on the site of the present church; it was later destroyed in unrest during the Migration Period. By the 8th century the first church in Kirchdorf had been built on the foundations of the old villa. The first official reference of the name "''Chirichdorf"'' was made in a book of the Tegernsee Abbey in 1107/13–1121.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Bitschnau|first=Martin|title=Tiroler Urkundenbuch, II.

This link was however broken when they established their own church parish.
