I visited with my 95 year old grandmother. She doesn't walk well. At the hotel reception I asked how I could get into the lower cave. We were taken there in several elevators with a small walk between. They asked how long it would take to pick it up, and came back to bring back. Thank you very much for the service. A beautiful and holy place with wonderful people.
Beautiful Abbey, store and village. The organist was rehearsing the day we went and was stunning experience to hear it and pray and admire the architecture. Definitely will come back.
Amazing place and worth a visit. The history Sanctuary of Our Lady at Mariastein goes back to the first half of the 14th Century. The story goes that a small boy had fallen from the precipice down into the valley and saved by the virgin. The boy’s mother was tending cattle and sheep. To escape from the heat of the day she and her son took refuge in a cave on the side of the cliff. When she was asleep the boy disappeared. When she awoke she searched around had a premonition that her son had fallen into the valley below. She headed into the valley and there she found him picking flowers for the beautiful woman who had carried him to safety. After falling more than 50m he was unhurt and told his mother that the Lady wished to be venerated in the cave above. According to tradition the cave grotto has been the site of many miraculous events. There are hundreds of placards form the faithful confirming their faith in the Virgin. This is a beautiful peaceful place. Apart from the sacred grotto and its chapels the basilica is absolutely worth a visit it is spectacular. The facade was built between 1830 and 1834 by the Austrian, Jakob Begle. The church itself dates back to 17th Century having been consecrated in 1655. The church was restored between 1930 and 1944 as well as being repainted in the years 1999/2000. Amazing place and worth a visit.
…so impressing…The walls of the second floor down are full of impressive writings.The atmosphere is really mystical.There are no masks; just truth…Calling me…One Day…
A place where you can find PEACE and SERENITY..
A most beautiful complex of several buildings with a pretty road through an orchard leading towards it. You can go inside and look around or sit. Lots of sculptures and detail.
A truly beautiful church. Felt a lot of sadness when I saw Jesus in the grotto. This church has a healing vibe, you feel so calm and mindful while there.
DON’T LET THE EXTERIOR FOOL YOU. Amazing inside baroque architecture but the main site is the chapel in the grotto. Free big parking a few minutes away.
