Pfarr- und Wallfahrtskirche Dürrnberg, Parish and pilgrimage church in Bad Dürrnberg, Austria.
The Pfarr- and Wallfahrtskirche Dürrnberg is a Baroque structure featuring red marble elements and follows Italian hall-church design principles. The interior shows a clear, light-filled spatial arrangement typical of churches built to accommodate many worshippers.
A church had stood on this site since 1347, but the Salzburg archbishop Wolf Dietrich ordered it demolished in the early 1600s. The present structure began construction in 1596 as its replacement.
The church attracts people seeking help for illnesses, and visitors leave votive offerings like crutches and organ replicas as signs of gratitude. This practice shows how pilgrims express their faith in healing at this site.
The location is easy to reach and offers regular services open to visitors. It is helpful to contact the parish in advance if you have questions about visiting hours or special requests.
Adjacent to the main building stands the Fieberbründl, a Gothic fountain made of red-spotted marble and crowned with a wooden Madonna statue from the 1700s. This separate artwork was itself a pilgrimage destination for centuries.
