In 1202, the monastery Lilienfeld was founded by Duke Leopold the Glorious in the upper Traisental, at the transition from Lower Austria to Styria. It belongs to the Cistercian order. After 60 years of construction, the church and the monastery were completed in 1263. They are masterful representatives of the transitional style from Romanesque to Gothic. The collegiate church, raised in 1976 to the papal basilica, a three-aisled pillar basilica, is the largest church in Lower Austria. The baroque decoration, which was created under Abbot Chrysostom Wiesner (1716-1747), was based on the idea of ​​a pageant whose wealth is increased from the church entrance through the nave and culminates in the high altar. Among the pictorial representations on the altars belonging to the splendid path, also includes the Christmas vision of St. Benedict. It is partially seen as a motif of the Christmas brand in 1992.
