Church St Martin in Lanzendorf, Austria

St. Martin is a Roman Catholic church in the Lanzendorf district of Böheimkirchen. First documented in 1248, the church has preserved its Romanesque architecture, standing prominently in an open field visible to travellers on the historic Westbahn railroad.

Leaning Tower of Lanzendorf

I took this photo while riding a train from Vienna to Linz on the Westbahn railroad through the Wienerwald region. As you see, the 15th-century steeple of St Martin Church has a strong inclination due to subsidence during construction. It also offers a levelling kink similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
