The Vilsegg ruin, built around 1220, was the residence of the Lords of Hohenegg until about 1540. The baroque parish church Maria Himmelfahrt was built between 1709 and 1714 according to the plans of the master builder Johann Jakob Herkomer from Füssen and consecrated on April 21, 1714. Vils was once widely known as a lute and violin making town. In the course of the 20th century, the town developed into one of the most important nativity scene locations in Tyrol.
