About Pilgrimage church in Wigratzbad

The history of the small village of Wigratzbad as a place of pilgrimage goes back to 1936. At that time, the villager Antonie R. erected a Lourdes grotto in gratitude for having been saved from great danger to her life. Soon other people gathered here, and already in 1939 a small church was built, where “Mary of Victory” is especially venerated. After the war, the influx of pilgrims increased to such an extent that a temporary place of worship was also built in the neighbouring Kreuzhügel. Here, however, services were only possible when the weather was favourable. Numerous offerings and the renewed commitment of Antonie R.'s heirs made it possible to build the present pilgrimage church instead of the temporary one. La historia del pequeño pueblo de Wigratzbad como lugar de peregrinación se remonta a 1936. En aquella época, la aldeana Antonie R. erigió una gruta de Lourdes en agradecimiento por haberse salvado de un gran peligro para su vida. Pronto se reunieron otras personas en este lugar, y así fue como ya en 1939 se construyó una pequeña iglesia, donde se venera especialmente a “María de la Victoria”. Después de la guerra, la afluencia de peregrinos aumentó hasta tal punto que también se construyó un lugar de culto provisional en el vecino Kreuzhügel. Aquí, sin embargo, los servicios sólo eran posibles cuando el tiempo era favorable. Numerosas ofrendas y el renovado compromiso de los herederos de Antonie R. hicieron posible la construcción de la actual iglesia de peregrinación en lugar de la provisional. The following considerations and objectives were of decisive importance for the design: Las siguientes consideraciones y objetivos fueron de importancia decisiva para el diseño: The floor plan is based on the juxtaposition of regular hexagons of 6.0 m length each. This results in honeycomb plan units with approximately 90 m2 of usable space each, six of which form the foyer with an eaves height of 3.0 m.
