history
The former fortified church , consecrated to St. Martin of Tours , was built in a former settlement area at the end of the 12th century. In 1574 it was called a pilgrimage church and in 1683 it was mentioned as a ruin. During the Battle of Wagram in 1809, it served the Austrians under Archduke Karl as the headquarters. In 1817 it was converted into a windmill , and a partially cantilevered round tower was added to the rest of the east tower. On the night of December 30th to 31st, 1862, the building burned down.
