On the eastern slope of the Probsteiberg opposite the Kampbad (car park), the Bründlkirch is slightly elevated, in the lower porch there is a Lourdsgrotte.

On the eastern slope of the mountain, which once supported the parish church and possibly also the castle of Zwettl, today's Propsteiberg, a very productive spring rises, of which the legend tells that a long time ago shepherds found a statue of Mary in the water of the spring . Originally a wayside shrine was erected, then a wayside shrine, which was replaced by a wooden chapel.
The source, which is considered to have healing powers, attracted ever larger groups of pilgrims, so that in 1846 a brick chapel with a tin roof was built.
The number of groups of pilgrims making pilgrimages to the spring continued to increase, so Father Anton Trajer decided to build a church by the spring. Actively supported by many donors and sponsors, it was built in 1896/97 and inaugurated on July 18, 1897. A nave with a facade tower was built in front of the old chapel, which now formed the presbytery of the new church. A Lourdes grotto was created under the wide porch created by the construction of the church.

A wooden chapel has been documented here at the Bründl since 1770 - this was replaced by a stone building in 1846 and expanded in 1896.
