On one of the most beautiful points of the country and the highest elevation of the Rosalien Mountains stands the Rosalien Chapel.

The Rosalien Chapel in Forchtenstein is a historical pilgrimage church and a significant cultural landmark in Burgenland.

It was built in 1670 in the baroque style by Prince Paul Esterházy and is located on the Heuberg, the highest point of the Rosalien Mountains. The chapel is known for its magnificent high altar and its elaborate interior design, which attracts numerous visitors from the region and beyond.

In addition to its religious significance, the Rosalien Chapel also offers an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, which is particularly popular among hikers and nature enthusiasts. The combination of history, art, and nature makes the chapel a special place for reflection, culture, and relaxation.

Additionally, events and pilgrimages are regularly held here, enriching the cultural life in Forchtenstein.
