Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto, Heiligenkreuz, Religious monument in Heiligenkreuz, Austria.
The Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto features a stone structure with a statue of the Virgin Mary near a wayside cross in Lower Austria.
The grotto was built to replicate the spiritual site of Lourdes in France, where Saint Bernadette Soubirous reported Marian apparitions in 1858.
The grotto and wayside cross form part of the religious heritage along the Via Sacra pilgrimage route from Vienna to Mariazell.
The site maintains regular access for visitors who wish to light candles, participate in prayers, or engage in personal meditation throughout the year.
The grotto combines local architectural elements with French religious design influences, situated near the oldest continuously inhabited Cistercian monastery worldwide.
