The pilgrimage church on the Hafnerberg is located directly on Austria's oldest pilgrimage route - the Via Sacra from Vienna to Mariazell in Styria.
A statue of the Virgin Mary was erected on the site as early as the middle of the 17th century, to which pilgrims liked to pray. Due to the increasing popularity of this pilgrimage site, the foundation stone for a large church was laid in 1729 by Abbot Ildephons of Mannagetta.
The construction was largely driven by the Petras family from Vienna and largely completed in 1745. The church subsequently represented something like an outpost of the Mariazell Abbey in the Vienna Woods and still houses sculptures and paintings by important artists.
The dome fresco is particularly impressive - probably the most important sacred work by Joseph Ignaz Mildorfer (1719-1775). This represents an absolute highlight of baroque fresco painting in Austria!
