Geography

The cloister lies on an old pilgrim's trail, the Via Sacra from Vienna to Mariazell.

History

History of Kleinmariazell:
The current group of buildings follows the modern ideas of restoration and monument protection. As a result, Kleinmariazell is no longer merely a religious center, but also an architectural artwork. The names of Christoph Cardinal Schönborn and Deacon Dr. Franz Eckert are closely connected with the building.
