history

The place was mentioned in a document in 1285.

• According to legend, after returning from a crusade , the lord of the castle of Arnstein put his unfaithful wife - she claimed that the devil in the form of a dog had made her pregnant despite the chastity belt - in a barrel with thorns and let her roll down the castle rock. The place where the barrel with the dead came to stand was the place where the church was founded. The mysterious tombstone of the unfortunate, with the image of a dog with a lily growing out of its belly , still stands in the parish church of Alland . The pulpit of the pilgrimage church was originally located in the St. Laurentius Church in Mayerling (which was demolished in 1889) .

Culture and sights

• Arnstein Castle ruins - the castle, enthroned on a northern foothill of the Peilstein , was destroyed by the Turks in 1529.
• Pilgrimage Church of Maria Raisenmarkt - an earlier chapel - possibly dating from the 12th century - was expanded into a parish church in 1783. In 1890 today's wooden barrel vault was installed. In 1983, a Romanesque and an early Gothic window from the 12th and 13th centuries were exposed during renovation work . In 1987 this Roman Catholic church was elevated to a pilgrimage church . The place has therefore been called Maria Raisenmarkt since 1989 . Numerous pilgrimages lead from here on forest paths to the Hafnerberg , such as the Annawallfahrt every year at the end of July.
