South of Leobersdorf, on the road to Sollenau, is the Healing Well, a regionally important place of pilgrimage. The spring, which is said to relieve eye diseases and, according to legend, has healed the blind, has a varied history.
The spring was first mentioned in 1466 as the "Heylige Prunn" in the Enzesfeld Urbarium of Christoph von Spaur, and remains of settlements from the Bronze Age also indicate a deserted place called Pölla, which was located in the vicinity of the well.

Towards the end of the Second World War, the Chapel of St. Mary was completely destroyed by Russian soldiers, but on May 13, 1945, 300 believers made a pilgrimage to the hastily repaired shrine. The ceremonial re-consecration took place that same summer. After a general renovation in 1990, the chapel was opened on April 22.
The water from the spring was examined and analyzed between 1956 and 1966. It is identical to the water that flows from the nearby well of the water supply association.

The spring is first mentioned in 1466 as the „Heylige Prunn“ in Christoph von Spaur’s Enzesfeld Urbarium, and there are also settlement remains from the Bronze Age pointing to a defunct place called Pölla, which was located in the vicinity of the spring. However, the spring must have been buried, as its documented emergence after a storm, during which the earth is said to have trembled according to witnesses, is dated to April 23, 1626.
