Dr. G.
May 16, 2025, Franz von Assisi Chapel on Buschberg

A special architectural feature is the 12-sided pyramidal roof. In the tower hangs a bell weighing approximately 35 kg, cast at the Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck and bearing an image of St. Francis.

The chapel is named after Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, nature, and the environment – fittingly for its location in the nature park. The chapel is located directly on the Weinviertel Way of St. James and serves as a spiritual place of tranquility for pilgrims, hikers, and nature lovers. Today, the chapel is a popular tourist destination and hosts events such as the annual animal blessing ceremony around World Animal Day.

The chapel was planned and built by the Buschberg local group of the Lower Austrian Mountain and Nature Watch, together with numerous volunteers. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in February 2022, and it was officially inaugurated in the summer of the same year.
