All together there are more than 4000 churches in Austria. Most of the time, they are among the oldest and most beautiful buildings in a village and protected by federal monument conservation.

On top of many steeples, mountaintops, and in many public Austrian places you find crosses.

Churches are open to all people, even if there is no religious service at the time.

The Bible is the foundation of christian faith. Over the centuries, people have passed on their experiences of God by telling others and writing them down.

Christianity has many ways to express how God accompanies the daily life. The ways of celebrating Catholic feasts have formed Austrian culture and the lives of the faithful for centuries.
