The web site below tells us:
"The Dietrichstein Tomb
This structure standing just off the main square can hardly be missed. Following the Papal authorization from 1623, Cardinal Franz of Dietrichstein founded here the so called Loreta by the Capuchin Monastery, a copy of the Santa Casa in Loretto, Italy. Above this, the St. Anna church was built. After a devastating fire the church was rebuilt to become a family tomb. The most remarkable and most monumental is the face of the building, work of architect Fisher of Erlach."
