View of Grimmenstein Castle

Open during the day. 1614 is the oldest date in the history of the pilgrimage site of Our Lady of the Snows. The veneration of the Mother of God was first documented in 1756. The statue of grace also dates from this period. Empress Maria Theresa donated a piece of the cross to the church, which is still in use today.

Had lunch at Koll again today, just before the end of the tour. Excellent as always.

A church was mentioned here as early as 1503 - in the Viennese Alps at the site of Kaltenegg, not far from Lichtenegg. In 1631, documents show a branch church dedicated to Radegundis and Oswald. In the centuries that followed, the church was both destroyed and renovated. When her family was spared the great stock market crash of 1872, a certain Antonia Winter had a church with two towers and a vicarage built out of gratitude. This made it possible to build a new building in the tradition of baroque pilgrimage churches. The patronage was taken over by the parish of Lichtenegg. Today, the sacred building in the Wilhelminian style - an architectural mix of classic and baroque - is a popular place of pilgrimage. Countless pilgrims come every year to the panoramic church at 850 m above sea level. Rax and Schneeberg form the picturesque backdrop.
