Pilgrimage Church of the Holy Trinity and St. Michael. The Baroque basilica on the Sonntagberg is one of the most striking landmarks of the Mostviertel region. The remarkable Baroque high altar, an independent circular temple on a high base with twelve fluted columns – symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel – was built from 1751 to 1757 according to a design by the architect and sculptor Melchior Hefele. At the center of the high altar stands the miraculous image of the Holy Trinity from 1614.
