Mariazell is a town with about 1,500 inhabitants in the district of Bruck-Mürzzuschlag in the north of Upper Styria in Austria. It is located near the border with Lower Austria at an altitude of 868 m, in the Northern Limestone Alps (Türnitz Alps) on a sloping plateau on the slope of the Bürgeralpe mountain. Mariazell is the most important pilgrimage site in Austria thanks to the statue of the Magna Mater Austriae in the Basilica of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. According to sources, the pilgrimage site of Mariazell was founded on December 21, 1157. The cultural sights of the town include the aforementioned Gothic basilica. Numerous national and international pilgrimage routes lead to Mariazell, such as the Via Sacra or the Wiener Mariazellerweg from Vienna.
