Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary

The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary is a neo-Gothic parish church built in 1895-1898. The church was built with the support of John II, Prince of Liechtenstein (1858-1929), under the direction of the architect Karel Weinbrenner. As a model for the construction of the church, Weinbrenner chose the Viennese Church of Our Lady of Victory by the architect Friedrich Schmidt.
