Parish Church of Ertl

Highlight • Religious Site

The neo-Gothic hall church, dedicated to the Holy Family, belongs to the deanery of Haag in the Diocese of St. Pölten. This neo-Gothic church building (1901–14) features a slender, octagonal tower roof and delicate cross-ribbed vaulting. The interior and exterior furnishings date from 1902–13 (by Linzer), and the organ dates from 1979. Renovated inside and out (1975, 1990), and ceremoniously restored in 2014.

Schwarze Kuchl (Pierreith)

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Black Kitchen" in Pierreith

A living example of rural architectural culture

The Pierreith House is known far beyond its borders as the "Black Kitchen" – but the name, which refers only to the kitchen, hardly does justice to the historic building.

Dating back to the late 17th century, the house is designed in the form of a classic farmyard and is today considered an impressive testament to rural architecture, craftsmanship, and lifestyle. Particularly striking is the Hergottswinkel (Hergottswinkel) with its crucifix and floral decorations – lovingly decorated on holidays.

The well-thought-out room layout follows a principle of sustainable use: A corridor separated heated from unheated areas. The central open fireplace – both cooking area and oven – warmed both the kitchen and the adjoining living room. Chickens once scratched beneath the hearth, and the bedrooms were located above the stable, where the rising warmth from the cattle and pigs provided a sense of comfort.

Until 2003, the "Schwarze Kuchl" (Black Kitchen) was a popular snack bar and a frequently photographed postcard motif. Today, the building is available as a research object for those interested in architecture and local history.

Source of the Url

Highlight • River

The Url, which rises here, flows into the Ybbs just before Amstetten after 35 kilometers. It overcomes an altitude difference of 370 meters, most of it immediately after the source to Ertl. It then flows through the Url valley, through Sankt Peter in der, Aschbach and Mauer, before flowing into the Ybbs in Greinsfurth.

Marienkapelle

Highlight • Religious Site

There are plenty of chapels, and not every one can be described as a highlight.
But this one is in such an idyllic location, and the well-kept path that leads to the chapel is an absolute dream, especially in spring when the lilacs are blooming there!!
