Sebastian Baur was born on the 20th of April 1878. He lived and worked in Dobbiaco all his life. He attended the boy's singing school in Novacella near Bressanone, and the Teacher's School in Bolzano. His main instruments were the piano and organ. Several times he was the band master of the local music chapel, hence he also got to know the technique of wind instruments.
Sebastian Baur was mainly organist and choir leader in Dobbiaco and Sesto, and was highly appreciated in professional circles He composed ten masses, some requiems, several Tantum Ergos, offertories and procession songs. His works for wind instruments were exclusively written for the Dobbiaco music chapel. He died in the same house he was born on the 12th of September 1947.

Emperor Maximilian I. and the "Herbst" Castle
Just behind Dobbiaco's parish church and its cemetery, you can see the mighty fortress-like walls of the "Herbst" Castle. The fortress was built in 1500 by the brothers Caspar and Christoph Herbst and renovated in order to become the overseer's residence. In 1508 and 1511, the "Herbst" Castle was visited by Emperor Maximilian I. Today, the residence is the private property of an aristocratic family.
