Wallfahrtskirche Christkindl, Baroque pilgrimage church in Steyr, Austria
The Wallfahrtskirche Christkindl features a round building design with four apses and two facade towers, following Roman basilica architecture patterns.
Construction began in 1702 under Carlo Antonio Carlone's direction, and after his death, Jakob Prandtauer completed the church, which was consecrated in 1709.
The church houses a 10-centimeter wax figure of the Christ Child holding a cross and crown of thorns, positioned above the tabernacle within light beams.
During Advent season, visitors can access the church, view the mechanical nativity scenes, and send mail through the seasonal Christmas post office.
The original pine tree trunk where Ferdinand Sertl placed his devotional figure in 1691 remains incorporated into the church's main altar.
