A mummified corpse - also known as an airborne priest.

According to records, the naturally mummified corpse was the canon Franz Xaverius Sydler de Rosenegg (4 May 1709 - 2 September 1746), who was buried just one day after his death, which is why it is assumed that he died of a contagious disease and that he was given a medicine "for life and death".

The mummy is located above the church and can be viewed at any time. Guided tours by prior arrangement with the tourist office.

The tomb is not cleared of snow in winter!
