Kleinmariazell - Basilica, Parish church in Altenmarkt an der Triesting, Austria.

The Kleinmariazell Basilica stands in the western Wienerwald region at 440 meters elevation, featuring Baroque architecture and detailed frescos by Johann Wenzel Bergl.

Established in 1136 by Markgraf Leopold III as a Benedictine monastery named Cella Sancte Marie, the complex underwent multiple destructions until Emperor Joseph II dissolved it in 1782.

The basilica forms part of the Via Sacra pilgrimage route connecting Vienna to Mariazell in Styria, maintaining its religious significance through regular services and events.

The church opens fully on Sundays and holidays, while weekday access requires prior arrangement through the pilgrimage office at office@kleinmariazell.at.

A thousand-year-old tree root system remains visible in the crypt, accessible via a walkway between the Romanesque apse and Gothic tower foundation.
