Wallfahrtskirche Maria Freienstein

St. Peter Freienstein, Styria

This special place is located 70 m above the Vordernbergertal, which has been shaped for many centuries by ore mining, iron extraction, and iron processing. The steep ascent to the place of grace and the surrounding castle complex changes the individual. As one moves step by step away from everyday life and its hustle and bustle, one comes closer and closer to oneself and to God. A unique castle complex, with the church built on rock in its center, invites you to experience silence and let your soul dangle amidst a magnificent landscape. Revive the sanctuary on the rock and feel how, in quiet contemplation, your own house of life stands on solid ground.
