    Parish and pilgrimage church of Maria Ellend
    The parish and pilgrimage church of Maria Ellend is located on Wiener Straße in Maria Ellend in the municipality of Haslau-Maria Ellend in the district of Bruck an der Leitha.
    The first church around 1450 stood west of the current church on the Danube on the site of an allegedly washed-up image of grace. The church mentioned in 1544 was destroyed in the Turkish war in 1529. The second church was built on the same site in 1584 for the newly settled Croats and was briefly consecrated to St. Mark and was elevated to a parish church in 1659. The Turkish war in 1683 caused the church to fall into disrepair until 1710. The current church was rebuilt on Reichsstraße in 1770. The facade tower and the facade mosaic were created in 1910 during a reconstruction and renovation. There was a renovation from 1974 to 1977. The roof was replaced in 1989.
    Since 1929, the parish and the pilgrimage have been looked after by the Missionary Congregation of the Holy Family.

        The parish and pilgrimage church of Maria Ellend, officially "Our Lady of the Rosary," belongs to the Hainburg deanery of the Archdiocese of Vienna and is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the region. The first records of a Marian chapel on this site date back to 1466, when the chapel "Our Lady of Ellend" was first mentioned. The original church was destroyed in 1529 during the Turkish Wars.

        On the same site, the newly settled Croatian community built a second church in 1584, initially dedicated to Saint Mark, which was elevated to parish church status in 1659. After further war damage, the building fell into disrepair by 1710. The present church was rebuilt between 1770 and 1772 on what was then the imperial road and dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. In 1910, a mosaic depicting the "Madonna of the Road" was added to the facade, and a Lourdes grotto, Stations of the Cross, and a Rosary path were created in the surrounding area, further strengthening the pilgrimage character of the site.

        Architecturally, the church presents a simple exterior with a hipped roof and rectangular windows. The interior is dominated by a high altar dating from around 1770, upon which stands a miraculous statue of Mary with Child from around 1600, complemented by a simple wooden pulpit from the same period. Since 1929, the parish and pilgrimage site have been under the care of the Missionary Congregation of the Holy Family, ensuring that the church tradition, the pilgrimage activities, and the veneration of the Virgin Mary remain vibrant to this day.
