In 1889, on the initiative of P. Arnold Janssen, St. Gabriel, the second mission house of the Steyler Missionaries SVD, was established on the outskirts of Maria Enzersdorf. Austria's most important mission institution was also the home of scientific researchers who undertook ethnographic expeditions to South America, central India, and Central Africa. In 1925, the mission house, originally planned as a school, had 650 residents of its own. Alongside the training center, a Mission Ethnographic Museum was established.
