Pfarrkirche Heiligenblut

The Pfarrkirche Heiligenblut stands as a religious structure with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and distinctive Gothic architectural elements throughout its construction.

Built in the 15th century, this pilgrimage church emerged following a legend about a stolen host that could only be retrieved with assistance from a priest.

The church maintains its role as a religious center where local residents gather for ceremonies, worship services, and community celebrations throughout the year.

Located at coordinates 48.3243 latitude and 15.27532 longitude, the church includes both a main building and a cemetery within the Naturpark Jauerling-Wachau region.

The Ursprungskapelle, constructed in 1411 by the noble Scheck family, stands south of the main church structure as a testament to medieval craftsmanship.
