Wallfahrtskirche Maria Laach

The stone church stands on the southern slope of Jauerling mountain at 644 meters elevation, featuring medieval architectural elements throughout its structure.

Construction of the current Gothic church began around 1380, replacing an earlier structure covered with tan bark that gave the location its name.

The church houses numerous medieval art pieces, including a Gothic double-winged altarpiece from 1480 and a devotional image of Mary with Six Fingers.

Regular church services take place on Sundays at 8:00 and 10:00, with visitor inquiries handled through the parish office at +43 2712 8339.

Following a miraculous healing of a blind child in 1719, the entire southern Waldviertel region pledged annual pilgrimages to Maria Laach.
