    The three late Gothic winged altars make Waldburg a treasure of art history. Hardly anywhere else in Austria can you find three Gothic winged altars at once like the church in Waldburg near Freistadt.

    The church is dominated by the high altar with the Virgin Mary, Saint Catherine, and the patron saint, Mary Magdalene. The winged reliefs depict her in scenes of her penitential life. The outer wings and the shrine's back wall depict the Easter cycle in vivid panel paintings. The two carved side altars are dedicated to Saint Lawrence and Saint Wolfgang. The rather simple depiction of the figures still holds a special appeal for many viewers today. The figures appear very lifelike, which was probably highly appreciated by the congregation at the time of their creation (1517-1523). These works are of exceptional artistic value and represent a fine example of deeply felt popular piety.
