The patron of San Leonardo in Passiria is Saint Leonard of Noblac, celebrated on 6 November in the Church of San Leonardo.
The town, overlooked by Castel Jaufenburg, was the birthplace of Andreas Hofer, the leader of the 1809 Tyrolean rebellion: the Museum Passeier is dedicated to him. The town also holds the Church of Sant'Orsola, the Church of Sant'Antonio di Padova and the St. Anna Chapel.
