The history of Maria am Gestade dates back to the IX century. It is located on Salvatorgasse - between Villingerstrasse and Salzgrisse - three hundred meters from the Danube, the natural beauty of Western Europe. And how, you say, the translation of the name of the church: "on the shore"? That's right: the church stood on a high bank, and is there. But ...on the former bank of the Danube. Then it was called a chapel, ie a small Catholic building, like a chapel. Here it was visited by Danube fishermen and crews of ships passing through the river.→
