Geography

Sonntagberg lies in the Mostviertel in Lower Austria. About 29 percent of the municipality is forested.

Landmarks

It has a baroque church that was, in its current form, built in 1706–1732 by Jakob Prandtauer and Joseph Munggenast. [5] The ceilings were painted by Daniel Gran (1738–43). In 1964, Pope Paul VI gave it the title Basilica minor.

For a short while, Sonntagberg was the location of what would then become Summerhill School. [6]
