Hennersdorf Parish Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Hennersdorf parish church of St. Andrew is one of the oldest churches in Lower Austria. The Hennersdorf parish church reflects three different art-historically interesting epochs (Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque). Despite the lack of documents, the time of construction can be put pretty much exactly around 1150 on the basis of art-historical investigations. The building age of the church (there are no written documents) can be dated fairly accurately due to the Romanesque architectural type. The occurrence of the type of the choir tower church (hall-shaped room, choir square with tower above it), or east tower church, to which the Hennersdorfer church also belongs, can be fixed precisely in time in several places in Lower Austria: From this, a construction time around 1150 can be assumed as fairly certain. The church is said to have been first mentioned in a document in 1270, but a document has not yet been found and therefore this claim cannot be verified. The Hennersdorf church is first mentioned in a document dated October 5, 1306: Albrecht von Pollheim and his wife Adelheid transferred the patronage of the Hoenesdorf church to Master Berthold, land clerk in Austria, and his wife Margareth, among others. This is the oldest written record of church history. Although the church existed from about 1150, there was no parish of its own. An exact date of the priest survey is not known; In any case, Hennersdorf is already noted in the Passau beneficence register in 1429 as a princely feudal parish, so it was first mentioned as a parish on this date. Since the 16th century, Hennersdorf has belonged almost entirely to the Leopoldsdorf rulers. Under Marx Beck, owner of the castle in Leopoldsdorf, the Leopoldsdorf castle chapel was raised to the status of a parish church in 1527; In 1528 the old Hennersdorf parish was merged with the Leopoldsdorf parish, which from 1646 no longer had a pastor. Hennersdorf was subsequently looked after alternately by the parishes of Oberlaa and Vösendorf. In 1529 the Turks invaded; the parsonage was totally destroyed. The church finally became an independent parish again in 1733 under the Leopoldsdorfer Schlossherrin Maria Theresia Rosalia Gräfin von Windischgrätz. From this point in time one can list 15 pastors from Hennersdorf in a complete series up to the present day.

Red and fallow deer have been kept in Austria for centuries to obtain high-quality meat. The large areas of meadow and pasture cultivated by Austrian farmers offer the ideal conditions for farming game.

Parish Church Achau St. Lawrence

Highlight • Religious Site

The place is first mentioned in a document in 1170[2] as the property of the Lords of Achau, ministerial officials of the Babenbergs. The parish church was founded in the 12th century as a patronage church of the Babenbergs. Various owner families of the Achau dominion followed, such as the Haiden and the Moser von Ebreichsdorf. In 1421, a pastor named Johann Simphonista is mentioned for the first time.
