Mariabründlkapelle, Water well and chapel in Engelhartstetten, Austria.
Description
Mariabründlkapelle is a spring shrine in Engelhartstetten centered on a rectangular pond fed by a natural water source. Two columns mark the entrance to this sacred site, with a stone statue standing at the spring itself.
History
The shrine was founded in 1718 when residents of Groißenbrunn discovered the spring while on pilgrimage to a local cross. Prince Eugene of Savoy later came upon the unfinished chapel and arranged for its completion.
Culture
The spring water has long drawn pilgrims seeking healing for eye problems and livestock ailments. The stone statue at the source remains the focal point where visitors pause and honor the water.
Practical
The site lies on a pilgrimage route of roughly 15 kilometers between Groißenbrunn and Marianka, passing through several municipalities. A bicycle and pedestrian path along with a bridge connect the location to the surrounding area for easy access.
Did you know?
A chance encounter changed the place's history: Prince Eugene of Savoy discovered the unfinished construction and had it completed. This unexpected support from a high-ranking European nobleman gave the shrine international significance.
