St. Leonhard

The church of St. Leonhard stands prominently on a hilltop, featuring a high nave with one main entrance and two side entrances with pointed arch windows.

The original chapel on this site dates back to the 11th century, with the first written records mentioning an abandoned church in Wartberg in 1235.

The church holds religious services twice annually and maintains its function as a filial church of Eggenburg since the parish division of 1564.

The church building includes architectural elements from different periods, including a 1656 extension that added the main nave to the existing altar section.

After destruction by the Hussites, Lienhart der Rokkendorfer restored the small church in 1430, leading to a complete reconstruction in the early 16th century.
