Cultural and sacred sites in the Ausseerland

Sacred sites have often been used by Christians for many years for special occasions and holy ceremonies. These places are typically home to churches, monasteries, chapels, or wayside shrines, and even today, weddings are occasionally held there.

Monasteries and churches were often built on the ruins of Roman foundations. In this way, knowledge about the power of certain places was continuously passed down through the centuries and used for the construction of cultural monuments.
