A local chapel was first mentioned in a 1445 deed, then a filial of Rupert of Salzburg, St Rupert Church in nearby Weißpriach. Since 1813 John the Baptist, Saint John's at Zederhaus is a parish in its own right.
The local peasants relied on Transhumance in the Alps, seasonal mountain pasture farming, while today many inhabitants are commuting, commuter employees. A local custom at least since the 17th century is the annual procession with ''Prangstangen'', up to high wooden poles which are decorated with flowers and carried by local bachelors on Nativity of St John the Baptist, St John's Day, June 24 into the church.
