The murdered Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his family lived in the nearby Artstetten Castle and is known to have regularly attended mass at Maria Taferl.
•
Another reason for Maria Taferl's importance as a pilgrimage destination was the stone cross, a gift from the citizens of Freistadt for pilgrims who died on the journey.
•
For a long time, it was part of the land of the Lords of Weißenberg, whose seat lay in the nearby town of Münichreith.

After Mariazell, Maria Taferl is the most important pilgrimage destination in all of Austria.
