The parish church of St. Mary's Assumption in Weißenkirchen in the Wachau, with its mighty defensive walls, dominates the distant view of the market town on the Danube.

The Gothic tower rises proudly into the sky and crowns the complex structure.

The interior contains beautiful works of art, primarily from the Baroque period.

We found the church open.

Late Gothic church - below is the Wachau Museum Weißenkirchen in the Teisenhoferhof, one of the most beautiful Renaissance courtyards in the Wachau. Various exhibitions in the gallery or old paintings by Johann Nepomuk Geller and Bruno Buresch as well as the beautiful traditional Wachau costume are shown alternately.

These impressive walls surrounding the church make you realize what the term "fortified church" meant.
