Until the late 18th Century, Mettmach belonged to the Electorate (later Duchy) of Bavaria. In 1779 the Innviertel region, including Mettmach, was transferred to the Habsburg Monarchy and became a part of Upper austria.[3]
Cultural Traditions have played a notable role in Mettmach. One of the most significant event being the "Mettmacher Passionsspiele", a passion play, performed in multi-year intervals, involving local participation.[4]
