Rüstorf: Churches, Chapel and River Landscape

Rüstorf lies between the Ager and Traun rivers. The town offers travelers several different points of interest: historic buildings, annual events and walks along the riverbanks. When choosing a destination, you can consider whether you are interested in architecture, a specific event date or activities in the natural recreational area.

Castle Chapel and Parish Church

Mitterberg Castle Chapel is the last surviving part of the former Mitterberg Castle. Its interior is richly decorated in the Baroque style. This brings two aspects of the building to the fore: its connection to the former castle and the design of the chapel interior. The chapel is protected as a historic monument under a decree pursuant to Section 3.

Rüstorf Parish Church is a late Gothic hall church dedicated to the Mother of God. The Catholic parish church of Mariae Namen in Rüstorf is protected as a historic monument under a regulation. A hall church is a type of church in which the nave and aisles are approximately the same height; “late Gothic” places the architecture in a period of the Gothic era. The comparison therefore highlights different architectural features: the parish church’s layout and period, and the chapel’s richly decorated Baroque interior.

Events Throughout the Year

The Goldhauben & Kopftuchgruppe Rüstorf holds a herb-blessing ceremony every year on August 15. The group also organizes a market stall fair every year on the first Sunday of Advent. These events offer two clearly distinct dates in the annual calendar: a fixed day in August and the first Sunday of Advent. If you want to plan your trip around an event, check the specific details in advance, as individual arrangements may change.

Walks and Riding Trails Along the Ager and Traun

Walks along the riverbanks are possible in the natural recreational area along the Ager and Traun. There are well-maintained riding trails for horseback rides. This offers two different ways to spend time outdoors: walking along the riverbanks or riding on horseback along the trails. Walking conditions may vary depending on the season, and local access to the riding trails may differ. Take these conditions into account when planning your activities.

The best time to travel also depends on what you would like to do. Events take place on set dates throughout the year, while seasonal conditions may affect walks. So if you would like to combine your stay with a walk, take the season into account when planning; if you are traveling for an event, check its specific details.
