Lonely Planet review for Pfarrkirche St Oswald
A must-see if you believe in miracles is 15th-century Pfarrkirche St Oswald. It was here that Oswald Milser gobbled a wafer reserved for the clergy at Easter communion in 1384. After almost being swallowed up by the floor, the greedy layman repented, but the wafer was streaked with blood – not from foolish Oswald but from Christ, naturally. Climb the stairway to view the Blutskapelle (Chapel of the Holy Blood), which held the original wafer.
