A wooden chapel has been documented here at the Bründl since 1770 - this was replaced by a stone building in 1846 and expanded in 1896.

On the eastern slope of the mountain that once supported the parish church and possibly also the castle of Zwettl, today's Propsteiberg, rises a very rich spring, of which the legend tells us that a long time ago shepherds found a statue of the Virgin Mary in the water of the spring . Originally a wayside shrine was built, then a marterl, which was then replaced by a wooden chapel. The spring, which was considered to have healing properties, attracted ever larger groups of pilgrims, so that in 1846 a brick chapel with a tin roof was built. The number of pilgrim groups making pilgrimages to the spring continued to increase, so that Pastor Anton Trajer decided to build a church near the spring. Actively supported by many donors and sponsors, it was built in 1896/97 and ceremoniously consecrated on July 18, 1897. A nave with a facade tower was built in front of the old chapel, which now formed the presbytery of the new church. A Lourdes grotto was created under the wide porch resulting from the church's construction.

An inconspicuous rock formation that houses the "Dragon's Cave".

A graceful, beautiful chapel

A great hiking destination that you can hike to in many variations.

“A giant once carried a stone down from the mountain. As he was wading through the Kamp River, the heavy stone fell into the water. Despite his best efforts, the giant was no longer able to lift the stone out. Since then the rock has been in the camp.”

In the book "The Predigtstuhl - The Mystical Guardian of the Waldviertel" by Gabriele Wanko, the cave is mentioned as the "Dragon Cave".

Text of the information board on the Bründl (mineral spring) At Landesstraße 60 between DIETMANNS and Waidhofen there is a spring that does not freeze over even in severe winters and whose water is said to have healing properties for various eye diseases. On an old beech tree, near the source, there was a picture of Mary, which was visited by many people as early as the 18th century. These private pilgrimages also came to the ears of the district chief von Krems in 1758 and he, together with the dean of Waidhofen / Thaya, ordered the removal of the picture, which then came to the parish church of Groß-Sieghart. However, this official act did not stop the pilgrimages. As before, thousands of people made the pilgrimage to the place where the image of the Mother of God hung. In 1865, two men, Mr. Frankl (from Matzles and Mr. Willinger (from Ulrichschlag) bei Bründl a Marterl, which still stands here today. When the LH60 was rebuilt in 1961, it was found that the spring rises directly under the street about 50 meters further west to its current location.
