Marienkapelle

Highlight • Religious Site

The depicted Marienkapelle (Chapel of Mary) at the intersection of Wechselgasse/Schulgasse in Lanzenkirchen is a protected small monument (chapel wayside shrine) with a centrally placed statuette of Saint Mary behind a wrought-iron gate. The dates on the facade refer to the original construction year of 1886 and the comprehensive renovation in 1998. As a historical religious wayside monument, the yellow-painted broad pillar chapel shapes the local townscape and serves as a place of reflection for walkers and believers alike.

How Lanzenkirchen got its name.
A duke confronts the enemy army. This legend tells what victory has to do with lances and cloaks and how this gave the place of the battle its name.

The Edenhaus forms the 7th station of the Lanzenkirchen Legend Trail and is closely linked to the local tradition surrounding the lost or mysterious house in the forest. The station playfully conveys the historical regional history and the mythological narrative treasure of the municipality of Lanzenkirchen to hikers and walkers. Designed information boards on site invite young and old to delve deeper into the legendary past of the surroundings as they pass by.

Haderswörth Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

This historical gem in Haderswörth was built in 1840 by Martin Zöckl and is considered a true landmark of the cadastral community. Later, in 1992, the building was rebuilt by local residents and also masterfully renovated a few years ago. Today, the charming structure shapes the local scenery so strongly that it is even immortalized in the logo of the local village renewal association.

Leithahexen Wooden Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

The Leithahexen.
Whoever messes with the small Leithahexen will fare badly. A cocky man tries it out and experiences his gruesome and wet miracle.
