history
In 1783 the settlement , which had been in the possession of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey since the Middle Ages, was raised to local chaplaincy; the chaplain was provided by the monastery. Since then, Cistercian fathers have looked after the little church. The church that stands today was built using the walls of the medieval church. From 1883 to 1889 renovations were carried out according to plans by Dominik Avanzo . During the exterior renovation in 1983, a Romanesque and an early Gothic window from the 12th and 13th centuries were discovered.
Pilgrimage church
In 1977 the pastor Beda Zilch O Cist. a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes was placed in the church. In addition, a pilgrimage center was developed in the dean's office in Heiligenkreuz. On the eleventh of each month - the day Lourdes appeared on February 11, 1858 - monthly pilgrimages to Mary, Salvation of the Sick, take place. The parish church was elevated to a pilgrimage church in 1987 by Archbishop Hans Hermann Groër (according to memorial plaques on the church wall). In 1989 the Alland town council decided to change the Kirchweiler's name from Raisenmarkt to Maria Raisenmarkt.
architecture
The church building, which is essentially medieval, shows itself in a simple Josephine style under a hipped roof with a retracted square choir and a roof turret over the smooth western front.
