Culture and sights

Cellar alley Markl in Windigsteig

    Grünau Castle
    Meires Castle - Renaissance building
    Catholic Parish Church of Windigsteig St. Laurence: The baroque three-nave church probably has a Gothic core, donated by Kuenringen around 1300. When the pilgrimage church in the Rafingsberg district was abandoned in the course of the Josephinian reforms, large parts of its Baroque furnishings were transferred to the Windigsteig parish church. Among them is the picture of grace from Rafingsberg, which has been placed in Saint Laurentius since 1784. The renovation of the west wing of the parsonage is attributed to the baroque master builder Joseph Munggenast.
    Ruined church of Rafingsberg: A ruin of the Gothic pilgrimage church of the Seven Sorrows of Mary in Rafingsberg has been preserved.
