• The Sonntagberg basilica, which is of particular importance for the area, is the baroque pilgrimage church located on the 704 meter high Sonntagberg, which is visible from afar. In 1440, Abbot Benedikt I von Seitenstetten had a chapel dedicated to the Redeemer ( Salvator ) built in Gothic style next to the so-called character stone, which Christian legend associates with miraculous powers . A few years later - around 1448 - a Trinity chapel was added. In 1490 a late Gothic church was built here. In the years 1706–1732 Jakob Prandtauer and Joseph Munggenast built today's church. The high altar (1755) and pulpit (1757) are by Melchior Hefele , the altar sculptures (1752–1756) by Jakob Schletterer and the ceiling frescos by Daniel Gran (1738–1743). The organ, built by Franz Xaver Christoph († 1793) between 1774 and 1776, is one of the most important late baroque organs in Austria. The church is consecrated to the Most Holy Trinity, as is the Turkish Fountain Chapel, which reminds of the salvation from the Turks. The miraculous image venerated here from 1614, the so-called Sonntagberg mercy seat , goes back to medieval models. A very well-known representation of this species comes from Albrecht Dürer . From the 17th century the Sonntagberg was one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Austria, which led to the depiction of the mercy seat becoming widespread and one of the most common and best-known depictions of the Trinity, especially in Lower Austria. A specialty of this pilgrimage are the Sonntagberger Fraisensteine ​​(oval tablets made of fired clay, provided with a relief-like depiction of the mercy seat), which were mainly issued in the 18th and 19th centuries and were considered medicinal. In 1964 the church was founded by Pope Paul VI. bestowed the title of papal minor basilica .
