Reidling: Chapel, Monuments and Forest Shrine

Reidling offers concrete points of interest for a stay combining culture and landscape: a parish church, the forest shrine on Reidlingberg, protected monuments and a circular trail through the woods near Reidling. If you are looking for a hotel, these different themes can help you consider Reidling as a destination for your stay.

Parish Church and Forest Shrine

Reidling Parish Church is dedicated to Saint James the Greater. Services are held there on Sundays at 09:00. If you would like to plan your Sunday around the service, check the current schedule before choosing a specific date.

The Reidling Forest Shrine offers a different connection to the town’s history. The Ungar and Wielander couple founded it in 1911 out of gratitude. It is located about one kilometre southeast of Reidling on Reidlingberg. The approximate distance and direction provide a concrete indication of its location, while its founding story offers a different way to connect with the place.

Chapel with Neo-Gothic Architecture

The forest shrine is a Neo-Gothic chapel built using a post-and-plank construction method and was renovated in 1991. The post-and-plank method refers to a structure with vertical load-bearing posts; “plank-clad” refers to its plank covering. Style, construction method and renovation can therefore be considered as distinct features, rather than combined into a single statement about the building.

The two years also refer to different events: 1911 marks the founding of the forest shrine, while 1991 marks the chapel’s renovation. For architecture enthusiasts, Reidling thus combines a local origin story with specific information about its construction and a later renovation. The chapel can be understood both through its design and its history.

Protected Buildings in Reidling

The Rumerskirchen family mausoleum and the tomb of the Baroness von Rumerskirchen are protected monuments. Both are located at Kirchengasse 6 in Reidling. Their shared address provides a clear point of reference for these two named monuments; the mausoleum and the tomb represent different forms of funerary architecture.

The protected building stock also includes the station building at Sitzenberg-Reidling railway station, along with its outbuilding and goods shed, in Reidling. The Austrian Federal Monuments Authority register, as of 23 June 2026, lists these objects as protected. In contrast to the mausoleum and tomb, the station building and its named outbuildings represent a different type of historic architecture. Those interested in architectural history will therefore find several clearly distinct subjects in Reidling, rather than a single combined building.

Circular Trail and Culinary Connections

The Waldandacht hiking trail to Reidling runs through the woods near Reidling to the Reidling cemetery. The route description therefore combines a landscape trail with a specific destination. For your travel plans, this is a different way to experience the town than visiting individual buildings: the focus here is on the route through the woods and the cemetery as the stated end point of the loop.

A culinary connection can be found at the Winzerhof Keiblinger wine tavern in Sitzenberg-Reidling. Smoked carp with horseradish is served there; the tavern is also known for its Karpfenwein speciality. These are two specific points of interest for travellers who also consider regional cuisine when choosing a destination. If you are planning around a particular dish, check the current menu in advance, as menu details may change.
