Pilgrimage Church of Our Lady of the Snows

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Lichtenegg Energy Research Park

Highlight • Structure

In the picturesque landscape of the Bucklige Welt, tests are being carried out to find out how the energy of the wind and the sun can be optimally used. Several test systems for small wind power and photovoltaics are available for viewing. A windmill with a viewing platform offers an insight into the potential of renewable energies as well as a magnificent view of the future of energy. [evn.at]
