St. Magdalena is a round church, located isolated on the Danube river. It may have been founded by Count Heinrich I of Ortenburg († 1241), who is said to have designed the building as a replica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem after a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but there could be as well a connection to a pilgrim hospital that was looked after by Knights Templar. The Romanesque church got an octagonal tent roof during a late Gothic renovation. The structure has a diameter of 14.6 meters. The north-facing buttresses and the vault date back to the 15th century. The tower in front of it is dated to the 17th century. We were very lucky to meet the person who could open the church. The vault is supported by a central pillar.
