Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria founded the Innichen Benedectine abbey, which from 783 belonged to the Archbishopric of Freising. The abbey itself was disestablished in 1785, while the surrounding estates were acquired by the County of Tyrol after the Mediatisation of 1803 ("Reichsdeputationshauptschluss"). According to the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain terms fell to the Kingdom of Italy. Innichen is still the site of a Franciscan monastery founded in 1691.
