Kleinmariazell is located north of Altenmarkt in a side valley of the Triesting in the direction of Klausen-Leopoldsdorf.
Aside from a few houses on the street and an inn, it is made up exclusively of the historic cloister buildings.
History of Kleinmariazell: The current group of buildings follows the modern ideas of restoration and monument protection.
The names of Christoph Cardinal Schönborn and Deacon Franz Eckert are closely connected with the building.
[citation needed] During 1764 – 1765, Johann Baptist Wenzel Bergl painted numerous frescoes in the basilica.
