Very old still attractive building just by the Danube river. Better to be seen from the opposite side of the river A beautiful with ossuary and lovely graveyard. I believe this was built on a Celtic worship spot then claimed for Christianity by Charlemagne in around 800 AD. The has been modified many times over the years. The fortified tower has a fantastic mosaic (photo is mine). The kirche sits right on the Danube with serene views. A must stop if you are touring the Wachau Valley. So beautiful to see and take pictures of from the river. Beautiful in a small town. The interesting thing is the graveyard is small and rotates burial plots. Old body will be dug up and the bones stored in a building inside the graveyard. Really eerie; see photos. Very pleasant otherwise in the Austrian wine country. Fascinating on the banks of the Danube in the heart of the Wachau Valley. Look carefully and you will find 7 hares on the ridge of the roof, quirky architectural detail on a medieval church. This is a particularly beautiful stretch of the Danube, I strongly recommend a tour of the Wachau Valley, by boat, car, walking or bike. I love this place: very beautiful, quite and historic. Always when we pass it we enjoy look at this and so rand. An interesting visit Interesting info about it, great view from the top, you can visit almost any annex and even climb up Visit it if you are in the area Lovely place off the main road but peaceful and right next to the vineyards with a beautiful outdoor terrace and interior. Wine and drinks are local and very reasonable, as are the dishes. The service is friendly and the owner was very present and helpful with great English and a expert knowledge about everything at his establishment. Go to this place! You’ll thank yourself Lovely old with graveyard beside and a tower, Great spotting Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
