Parish Church of Neukirchen bei Altmünster

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish of Neukirchen - becoming an independent parish

The inhabitants of the Viechtau were originally parished partly to Altmünster and partly to Traunkirchen.
It was not until 1754 that Empress Maria Theresa gave Neukirchen its own church. Neukirchen was a mission station from 1754 to 1787, then an expositur (pastoral district without its own property management) of Altmünster. The parish name "Neukirchen" has been common since about 1780. The sacristy was built in 1798, the cemetery in the "Liendhalt" in 1822 and the onion dome in 1840.
On August 5, 1846 - after 92 years of existence - the church "Maria Schnee" was inaugurated.
In 1850 the tower clock was purchased. In 1891 Neukirchen became an independent parish. The patron saint (patronage) is "Maria Schnee" to this day and is celebrated on August 5th.

Today the parish of Neukirchen has about 2000 Catholics.

A jewel in the interior of the church is the baroque altar. It comes from the old Viennese Minorite Church. The figure of St. Joachim (father of the Mother of God) deserves special attention.

Gustav Mahler's Composing Hut

Highlight • Monument

In 1894 Gustav Mahler had this composing house built on the banks of the Attersee. Large parts of the Second and the entire Third Symphony were written here.

Today the building serves as a memorial and is located in the closed area of a campsite. Admission is free, the bowl is available at Gasthof Föttinger. From 1.11. until April 20 a telephone registration is required.

Attersee lakeside at Weyregg

Highlight • Lake

Here is a small aquarium in which the fish of the Attersee can be studied. In June 2019 it was in repair. A model of a pile-dwelling village gives an idea of how people used to live here. A quiet place on the lake!
