Leiblfing Parish Church

The church in Leiblfing is one of the most photographed churches in Austria. The reason is the imposing location on a hill with the mountains in the background.

The image of the church is characterized by the rare church tower: the tower has an onion dome and at the same time a slender top. This special feature arose during a renovation in the early 18th century.
