Christkindl pilgrimage church near Steyr

In 1695, the seriously ill tower keeper and bandmaster Ferdinand Sertl placed a small wax child Jesus in the hollow of a spruce tree. He went there several times a week to pray. When he was cured of epilepsy, so many pilgrims came that it became necessary to build a church. The name “Zum Christkindl unterm Himmel” was born. The current church was begun in 1702 by Giovanni Battista Carlone and completed by Jakob Prandtauer in 1708.

The figure of grace, a standing child Jesus made of wax and only 10 cm high, holding a cross and a crown of thorns in his hands, is now located at the high altar in a small shrine, above the tabernacle shaped like a globe.

Christkindl is a place in the Lower Steyr Valley in the Traunviertel of Upper Austria, as well as a district and cadastral community of the statutory city of Steyr, as well as a town (cadastral community of Oberchristkindl) in the municipality of Garsten in the Steyr-Land district.

The place is known for the pilgrimage church Zum Christkindl unterm Himmel and the special post office 4411 Christkindl, which is considered the address for Christmas wishes by Austrian children.
