Maria Taferl

Maria Taferl, Italy

This unusual site has both a pre-Christian sacrificial stone and a Catholic sanctuary. According to legend, a carved Pietá was placed at an oak tree in thanksgiving for a miraculous healing; eventually the site was associated with miraculous sightings of the Virgin Mary. The oak tree was burned in 1

755, and the current building dates from the Baroque period. The Celtic sacrificial stone (''Opferstein'') is located in front of the church; the stone balustrade surrounding it dates from the 18th century.
