The parish church of Kirchberg am Wagram is open for you! Come visit and experience history and religion at a single place!

The parish church is dedicated to St. Stephen. It can be seen from far and wide as it is built on a natural fortification, the Kirchberg (church hill) to the south of Marktplatz.

Its history as a pilgrimage church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Solace, began with a bequeathal from the Beer family. After a son was born to the family, it bequeathed a stone pillar topped by the Virgin Mary to fulfill a vow it had made. The sculpture of the Virgin Mary was integrated in 1785 in the high altar after the original chapel was torn down. Ever since then, the church has been known as the Pilgrimage Church to the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Solace (Maria Trost in German).
