Judenstein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judenstein (Meaning "Jew stone") is a district of the village Rinn, Austria. After the alleged murder of a little child named Anderl von Rinn by Jews on a rock in the town, a church was built around the rock. Anderl was later beatified, but his veneration was outlawed in 1953.
