Opening of the communal facility in Upper Austria 2026

Lembach demonstrates how fruitful it is when tradition and modernity meet on equal terms. At the center is a culture of encounter focused on peace: lived ecumenism and a festive ceremony, an art house with diverse presentations, a dance café, a music club that connects generations, and two reimagined traditional costume and market festivals. Designed by the people of Lembach themselves, along with musical support from Hofkirchen, numerous associations, and artists – with commitment, creativity, and the courage to embrace the new while carefully preserving what has grown.

Ecumenical service of encounter with Bishop Manfred Scheuer, Superintendent Gerold Lehner, and Pastor Maximilian Pühringer.

Walk through the newly installed Peace Path, including a presentation of art objects in public spaces.
