Manker pilgrimage routePhoto: Mostviertel
A pilgrimage to Mank
Today's plague comes out of the exhaust pipe. But if you go on a pilgrimage to Mank on foot, you are not spreading the plague, even though you are on a medieval pilgrimage against it. Pastors advised the people of St. Pöltern in times of plague to make a pilgrimage to "Mank am grünen Anger" to beg for help. This gave rise to an old connection between St. Pölten and Mank, which is also expressed elsewhere today: in the "Sweet Corner", a confectionery here and there. The 43.5-metre-high church tower of Mank with its unconventional onion dome can be seen from afar. Construction of the three-nave hall church began around 1400. The largest bell is called Herz Jesu and weighs 1,675 kilos.
