  • Parish Church Enzenkirchen
  • Heimathaus: Enzenkirchen owes its local history museum to the businessman Richard Eichinger, who, after being made an honorary citizen of Enzenkirchen in 1986, gave both the sacristan's house to his wife Anna Eichinger, who died in 1983, as well as the collections that are now on display here. Anna Eichinger collected a large part of the objects of folk art and religious customs. The house is also known as the “rain stable” in the tradition. A foundling found in the rain and therefore called rain is said to have once made his home here. In 1994 the Enzenkirchen City Council under Mayor Franz Hochegger decided to have the necessary renovation work carried out on the house and, after an inventory of the exhibits (documents from Richard Eichinger were not available), to set up a home. In addition to the photos of Richard and Anna Eichinger, there are u. a. still photos of Anna Eichinger's sisters, who supported the couple in their collecting activities in the best possible way.
