Engelsberg Marble, Stone quarry and geotope in Winzendorf-Muthmannsdorf, Austria.
The Engelsberg Marble site includes dense Hallstätter limestone formations with distinctive cherry red color patterns and white streaks at 510 meters elevation.
The quarry's first documented lease dates to 1698 by stone mason Paul Klimpfinger, followed by intensive extraction periods between 1860 and 1901.
Since 1985, annual sculptor symposiums at the site produce stone artworks, leaving permanent installations that demonstrate modern interpretations of marble craftsmanship.
The municipality of Winzendorf-Muthmannsdorf manages site access and provides information about guided tours focusing on geological and historical aspects.
The quarry walls display perfectly smooth surfaces created by cable saws, while Italian workers during World War II left inscriptions in nearby cisterns.
