A three-sided brick column shrine with round-arched niches on each side. The shrine stands at the northern town border between Tribuswinkel and Pfaffstätten. The shrine is interchangably called the Templarkreuztransl.Knights Templar cross, Drei-Markt-Kapelletransl.three-market-chapel, or Kreuzritterkapelletransl.Knights Templar chapel. The structure dates back to the 18th century. The original structure was removed in 1987 to alter the path of the adjacent road. It was subsequently rebuilt by the local population according to plans and images of the old shrine. The interiors of the niches are decorated with wall paintings depicting the crucifixion and a praying Knights Templar, a dark-haired Knights Templar castles in the background, and a white-haired Knights Templar with a church landscape in the background. According to oral lore the three knights depictured were called Guntram, Gumpold, and Triban, after which the three towns of Guntramsdorf, Gumpoldskirchen and Tribuswinkel are named, who are said to have bid their goodbyes at the location of the shrine to each other, parting into three different directions, as does the intersection the shrine is located at. The artifacts are inscribed with "Robert Colnago" (born 1935, Vienna).[7][8]

In the turn of the 19th century, the town transformed from that of a pure farming town, to that of industry. In 1909, the company Scheuble und Hofstätter built a chemical-pharmaceutical factory along the Wiener Neustadt Canal that runs along the town. During the First World War, the factory was used to produce jam and following the end of the war, was converted to produce textiles.[10]
