Culture and sights

  • Filialkirche Unterirrach in Unterirrach : The church has a two-bay, ribbed, late Gothic choir with a 3/8 end and a flat ceiling with a stucco frame decoration in the nave. The ridge turret wears an onion helmet.
  • Filialkirche Sulzbach in Sulzbach : The late Gothic church was once an important pilgrimage church. A healing well, which was used against eye diseases, and St. Valentin, who was considered a protector and helper against Fraisen and epilepsy, were the goal of up to 40 pilgrimages during one year.
  • Parish church Pichl near Wels : The originally Gothic church was rebuilt by Johann Michael Prunner in 1734–1736 and renovated by Johann Matthias Krinner after a fire in 1750. The main painting on the high altar shows the glorification of Bishop Martin von Tours from 1761 by Bartolomeo Altomonte .
  • Etzelsdorf Castle : The first records of the castle go back to the 12th century. The current building dates from the 17th century. The farm buildings are laid out separately from the main building. In the summer of 1944, the National Socialist People's Welfare Association built a “ foreign national children's home” in Etzelsdorf Castle . Until the end of 1946, children of forced laborers were housed here. Thirteen of these children died in the fall of 1944 due to poor care and nutrition.
