Allitz/Alliz

The small village of Allitz lies at the entrance of the Gadria valley, at the northern tip of the legendary Gadria debris cone lodged at the feet of the Sonnenberg.

This third-largest separate municipal district within the principal Laas municipality, was consistently threatened by Gadria debris landslides during thunderstorms. The new "Lahngröb" protection works were finally erected in years 1888-1892, with simultaneous safety-reforestation of the 16 ha of surrounding Allitz woodlands.

The particularly captivating village landmarks are the “Maria Heimsuchung” St. Mary of the Visitation church dating back to year 1640 and the “Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit” Chapel of the Holy Trinity in the Untertröghof farming estate, erected by a Laas sacristan in year 1752, in thanksgiving for having found his lost son, safe and unscathed, inthat very same venue.
