Maria Kirchental, Catholic pilgrimage church in Sankt Martin bei Lofer, Austria
Maria Kirchental sits at 900 meters elevation in the Loferer Steinbergen mountains, featuring a double-towered east facade and Baroque architectural elements.
The church, consecrated in 1701 and designed by architect Johannes Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, has served pilgrims from Tyrol, Salzburg, and Bavaria for three centuries.
The interior displays a notable collection of votive images while functioning as one of nine designated healing spaces within the Salzburg archdiocese.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the church, with the Salzburger Saalachtal route connecting to the Way of St. James from Unken to Lofer.
The site includes the Haus der Besinnung, where visitors participate in reflection days and meditative practices guided by Herz-Jesu-Missionare and Missionarinnen Christi.
