Pilgrimage church south of St. Florian near Wolfern. It goes back to the 13th century (first mentioned in 1212) and emerged from a chapel near a holy well. The church became the property of Archaz von Losensteinleiten in 1627. The provost of Passau Cathedral, Anton von Losenstein, had the church expanded in 1690 and consecrated it in honor of the Holy Trinity, the Mother of God and the 14 Holy Helpers. Under Emperor Joseph II, Maria Laah was established as an independent parish.

The chancel is late Gothic, the high altar itself is neo-Gothic, as is the pulpit, which dates from the end of the 19th century. On the west side of the church there is a crypt in which the Auerspergers, owners of Losensteinleiten Castle, found their resting place.

Gleink Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Benedictine monastery of Gleink was founded in the first quarter of the 12th century, soon after the founding of the Garsten monastery, from the Bamberg fiefdom of Glunich. The monastery complex dedicated to the Apostle Andrew already existed around 1120.

Gleink was a daughter settlement of Garsten monastery, from which the first abbot Ulrich came. Ulrich was a relative of Saint Berthold of Garsten, the first abbot of Garsten monastery.

The Romanesque monastery building was damaged by fires in 1220, 1275 and 1313. After the turbulent times, the monastery experienced a heyday under Abbot Gregor Grand (1504–1520) before the schism. His successor Thomas Amfeldt (1520–1539) had to watch as Turkish cavalry from Kasimsbeg's raiding corps devastated the area around Gleink and Dietach in September 1532.

Due to the political, economic and religious conditions in the first half of the 17th century, especially the plundering during the Peasants' War in 1626, the monastery fell into great distress, from which it was only rescued by the abbots Cölestin Pestaluz (1658–1678) and Rupert I of Kimpflern (1678–1708). Under these abbots, the great Baroque building period began for Gleink, which ended under Abbot Rupert II Freysauf of Neudegg (1709–1735).

Andreas von Schwandtner (1735–1762) was the penultimate abbot. In 1762, Wolfgang Holmayr, a professor from the University of Salzburg who was born in Steyr and famous as a preacher, was elected abbot. He led the monastery as Wolfgang III until it was dissolved. As part of the church reforms of Emperor Joseph II, Gleink was secularized on May 21, 1784. Soon after the dissolution, the monastery buildings were used as barracks. In 1791, Gleink was endowed to the Bishop of Linz. The bishops of Linz liked to use Gleink as a summer residence.
After the dissolution of the monastery, parish pastoral care in Gleink was carried out by secular priests, and since 1950 by the Order of the Sacred Heart Missionaries. Since then, the order also ran a Caritas home (until 1990), a feared reformatory for boys.
