October 14, 2018 - Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Bad Deutsch-Altenburg. The St. Mary's Church, a Romanesque three-aisled pillar basilica with an early Gothic choir and west tower, was built in 1050 in Deutsch-Altenburg. Elevated to imperial provostship of the Hungarian March in 1051, it was given as a gift to the Empress Dowager Agnes in 1058.
In 1213 Alban and Johann Dörr rebuilt and expanded the church. From the outside, the building is one of the most beautiful choir facilities in Austria.

The Marienkirche in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg presents itself with cinematic facades of original origin. With its magnificent medieval exterior, it is considered one of the most beautiful choir complexes in Austria. It was built as early as 1050 - in a Romanesque, three-aisled pillar construction with an early Gothic chancel and west tower. The church is under monument protection and represents an important monument of medieval architecture in Austria.
