The photos are of the mausoleum located above the Pfaffenstiege. The mausoleum is the burial site of the Auersperg princely family. Erected by Karl, Prince of Auersperg in 1911. (Information panel at the mausoleum)

The Pfaffenstiege was first mentioned in 1733. Until the founding of Maria Laah in 1786, it was used by the clergyman residing at Losensteinleithen Castle for his daily walk to mass in Maria Laah. (Sign at the foot of the stairs)

The Bründl is located on the north side of the building opposite the church

On the western exterior of the church there is a crypt in which the Princes Auersperg, owners of Losensteinleithen Castle, found their final resting place. When the hall above was renovated in 1892, the crypt was also examined and 18 simple wooden coffins were found there. On the side walls of the crypt there are three memorial plaques commemorating "Maria Josefa Princess of Auersperg", "Aglae Adelheid Pauline Countess of Windischgrätz" and "Marie Franziska Scheldon, Imperial Countess of Daun, née Princess of Auersperg".

Auersperg-Mausoleum

A large colony of gray and white herons

Pilgrimage church south of St. Florian near Wolfern. It goes back to the 13th century (first mentioned in 1212) and emerged from a chapel near a holy well. The church became the property of Archaz von Losensteinleiten in 1627. The provost of Passau Cathedral, Anton von Losenstein, had the church expanded in 1690 and consecrated it in honor of the Holy Trinity, the Mother of God and the 14 Holy Helpers. Under Emperor Joseph II, Maria Laah was established as an independent parish. The chancel is late Gothic, the high altar itself is neo-Gothic, as is the pulpit, which dates from the end of the 19th century. On the west side of the church there is a crypt in which the Auerspergers, owners of Losensteinleiten Castle, found their resting place.
