The Roman border guards who served here brought the Eastern mystery beliefs with them and built a rock chapel for the Persian sun god almost two thousand years ago, in which they built an altar to Mithras, who was born from the rock.

The Mithras grotto in Mörbisch is located on the border with the neighboring Hungarian town of Fertörákos. It was discovered in 1866. The Mithras grotto, which dates back to the 3rd century, contains a half-relief carved into the low rock face depicting the sun god Mithras killing the bull, to the right of him Phosphorus with a raised torch, to the left Hesperus with a downward-facing torch.
