The Statue of Religio - In the center of the penitentiary at Wilhering Abbey is a statue of the Religio. The sandstone statue from 1837 was made by Franz Xaver Schneider (1789-1847). The religio here means the religio Christiana, the Christian religion. Three signs indicate this: A book with the inscription "Biblia sacra" in the left hand; A cross in the right hand; A triangle symbolizing the Trinity on the head covering.
