Pfarrkirche Weißenkirchen
Austria
You see it before you understand it. The parish church of Weißenkirchen in der Wachau sits above the market town and dominates it, and what makes it look more like a stronghold than a place of worship is the ring of fortification around it, anchored by three corner towers. This is a Wehrkirche, a defended church, and the source calls its church fortress the most important in Lower Austria. It is Roman Catholic, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, belongs to the deanery of Spitz in the diocese of St. Pölten, and is a protected monument.
