The historic Marienstatue can be found in Lunz’s parish church. It is known that the statue of “The Madonna on the Golden Throne” was already admired at the beginning of the 16th century by pilgrims making their way along the Pilgerweg to Mariazell. A famous incident when a Turk, in 1529, struck the figures with his sword without destroying them further added to the carving’s mystery. The statues still bears the sword marks to this day. Such Marian statues are to be found all along the pilgrim route, from Klosterneuburg to Mariazell.
