Maria Taferl

Maria Taferl stands on elevated ground above the Danube Valley, encompassed by thick forests at an altitude that provides favorable weather conditions throughout the year.

The municipality traces its origins to the 17th century when the first church was constructed around a shrine dedicated to the Holy Mother of Christianity.

The Baroque basilica, completed in 1710, features designs by Jakob Prandtauer, incorporating extensive gold leaf decorations and a painted ceiling above the sacred Marian statue.

The municipal office provides administrative services, maintains a public electric vehicle charging station, and coordinates local government operations for 872 residents.

From this location, visitors can observe a 320-kilometer stretch of the Alpine mountain range, extending from Schneeberg all the way to the mountains of Salzburg.
