Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg

The ecclesiastical principality of the archbishops of Salzburg in the Salzach valley (Pongau, Pinzgau, Lungau), which became fully separate from Bavaria with its own territorial law in 1328. Rich from salt and gold; it expelled its Protestants in 1731.

Secularised in 1803 (as the Electorate of Salzburg). Berchtesgaden was a separate provostry.
