Mariapfarr - a site of pilgrimage
Culture vacation in the SalzburgerLand
All the way in the year 923, documents attest to the existence of a church in Mariapfarr, the mother church of the Lungau region.
Over the centuries, the church was expanded in a variety of architectural styles. You can still see evidence of the various style époques to this day, such as its Romanesque frescoes.
