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.

I grew up here and we visit Freistadt every now and then - but it's always worth a visit!!

Interesting old church, beautiful altar

The horseshoe and wagon smithy was in operation for over 400 years (1523 - 1923). The bellows are still functional.

In 1125, Lasberg was mentioned for the first time in a deed of gift in which he gave the monastery of Florian a church in "Lozberch" (today Lasberg) as well as his house and the farm near the church. The organ was installed in 1785 by Lorenz F. Richter from Freistadt and largely rebuilt by the organ builder Mauracher from Linz in 1927. The organ was completely renovated in 2003 by the organ builder Kogler from St. Florian. The current neo-Gothic altars were made by Josef Umterberger from Gmunden in 1877/78.

From the castle courtyard you can walk through the romantic Schlossgässchen to Böhmergasse
