The Franciscan basilica of Frauenkirchen (Boldogasszony), east of Lake Neusiedl, is one of the oldest Marian shrines of the western border region. Its present Baroque church was built by Palatine Paul Esterh\u00e1zy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The place is mentioned as \u201cZenmaria\u201d in 1335. According to tradition, when the Ottomans burned the chapel in 1529, the miraculous image painted on a wooden panel \u2013 a nursing Madonna \u2013 survived unharmed among the ruins, and this marked the beginning of the pilgrimages. The village passed to the Esterh\u00e1zy family in 1622, and the Franciscans settled here in 1659.<\/p>\n

On the site of the church destroyed in 1683, construction of the new church began in 1695 with a foundation of Prince Paul Esterh\u00e1zy, and it was consecrated in 1702. Its master builder was Francesco Martinelli; the stucco work was made by Pietro Antonio Conti and the ceiling and wall paintings by Luca Antonio Colombo.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The early Gothic venerated statue of around 1240, carved from lime wood \u2013 \u201cMary in the Wilderness\u201d \u2013 which stands on the high altar, was brought from Forchtenstein (Frakn\u00f3) Castle by Paul Esterh\u00e1zy himself; the original miraculous image can be seen on the first side altar. More than five hundred miraculous healings were recorded in the 17th\u201318th centuries. Pope John Paul II raised the church to the rank of minor basilica in 1990.<\/p>\n

Pilgrimage feast:<\/strong> The church's feast day is the Nativity of Mary, 8 September.<\/p>\n

Visiting:<\/strong> The basilica is open daily from 6 am to 9 pm (Kirchenplatz 2, Frauenkirchen). It is easy to reach from the Hungarian side of the Fert\u0151\/Neusiedlersee region, from Fert\u0151d and Sopron.<\/p>\n
