Architecture sights in Mariazell

  1. Basilika

    Most people come to Mariazell to visit the Basilika, the town’s most important attraction. Originally Romanesque, the basilica underwent a Gothic conversion in the 14th century and then received a massive baroque facelift in the 17th century. The result from the outside is a strange clash of styles, with the original Gothic steeple bursting like a wayward skeletal limb from between two baroque onion domes.
