Maria Trost, Gothic pilgrimage church in Fernitz-Mellach, Austria
The Maria Trost church features a 64-meter tower with a baroque onion dome and presents intricate ribbed vaults in the three-nave interior layout.
Construction of the current church structure began in 1506, incorporating elements from a previous 15th-century building including the northern tower remnants.
The church maintains monthly gatherings where local residents participate in a Holy Mass followed by candlelight processions through the surrounding streets.
The church building underwent extensive restoration work since 2000 under the supervision of the Austrian Federal Monuments Office to preserve its architectural elements.
A medieval legend tells of a statue of Mary repeatedly appearing in a thorn bush at this location despite being returned three times to nearby Vasoldsberg.
