Mauer bei Melk

The parish church of Mauer goes back into the earliest days of the settled history of the Dunkelsteinerwald.

The local centre was extended substantially only during the last few decades, with a core settlement of a single-family house forming its centerpiece.

The significance of the village is strongly connected substantially to the importance of a carved altar, which is why the local church is particularly worth mentioning.

The pilgrimage church at Mauer bei Melk, which belongs to the Benedictine abbey of Göttweig was one of the oldest buildings of the area, but none of it has been preserved to this day.

The church was to be expanded during the 15th century, but the Reformation halted further building activity, because the Mr. von Albrechtsberg, who belonged to the promoters, had converted to the new doctrine.
