The former fortified church, consecrated to Saint Martin of Tours, was probably built at the end of the 12th century in a former settlement area. In 1574 it is referred to as a pilgrimage church and in 1683 it is documented as a ruin. During the Battle of Wagram in 1809, it served as a command post for the Austrians under Archduke Charles. In 1817 it was converted into a windmill, for which a partially projecting round tower was added to the remains of the east tower. On the night of December 30th to 31st, 1862, the building burned down.[1]

The picturesque landmark of the municipality of Markgrafneusiedl is located at the highest point in the Marchfeld - on the foothills of the Kleiner Wagram. The current ruin was built between 1220 and 1240 as a church fortification. As part of the defensive ring of the Ostmark, the fortified church was dedicated to Saint Martin. After several changes of ownership, the former fortification was privately renovated in 1988. In the 1990s, local archaeologists discovered the so-called "astronomical window" in the ruins: this always focuses the sunlight at a specific point on the opposite inner wall at the winter solstice.
