Sautens New Parish Church

Sautens is a small town, also called a municipality, in the Imst area of Austria. It is located about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) southeast of the town of Imst. Sautens sits on the lower part of the Ötztaler Ache river.

The village gets a lot of sunshine and is protected from strong winds. This creates a very mild climate, meaning the weather is usually pleasant. The main way people in Sautens earn money is through farming. Growing fruit is especially important here. A lot of the fruit harvested is used to make a special drink called Schnapps.

The name "Sautens" might come from ancient Roman times. Sautens used to be connected with the nearby town of Oetz. However, in 1836, Sautens became its own separate community. In recent years, more and more tourists have started visiting the village.
