Description
The parish and pilgrimage church of Maria Attersee on the Kirchberg in Attersee grew out of the former palace chapel. Originally Gothic in style, it was converted to the Baroque between 1722-28 by Jakob Pawanger and Josef Mathias Götz from Passau, at the request of Ferdinand Count of Khevenhüller. The statue of the Madonna on the high altar, those of St Peter and St Stephen, as well as the high-relief of the Magi are all Gothic survivals.
