history
Chapel on Michelberg
The Michelberg also has a long history as a place of worship. The Michaelskirche, which has long been a popular pilgrimage destination, can be traced back to the 9th century. In 1745 it was rebuilt and expanded by a Chapel of St. Michael. During the Josephine reforms in 1783, the church was demolished and a new church was built with its material by the Klosterneuburg canons in Haselbach, and the former mountain church was furnished. The present chapel dates from 1867 and was built by the Haselbach community.
