Several specific themes give Kleinhöflein a distinctive profile: the parish church and its building history, religious artworks under heritage protection, viticulture and a seasonal bus service. For planning your trip, it helps to consider these themes separately: they relate to local history, agriculture and mobility, not to one single shared programme.
Church and Local Religious History
Kleinhöflein’s parish church was built in 1777 and is dedicated to Saint Joseph. Its year of construction and patron saint provide two clear points of reference, linking a specific historical context with the building’s religious identity. For travellers interested in local church history, these are two clearly identifiable features.
The traditional St Mark’s procession also takes place in Kleinhöflein every year. It adds a recurring custom to the theme of local religious history. A historic building and an annual tradition thus stand side by side as distinct aspects.
A wayside shrine in Kleinhöflein is protected as a historic monument by ordinance. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk at Sommerseite 6 is also protected. The two landmarks differ in form—a wayside shrine and a statue of a saint—and add further specific monuments to the religious heritage represented by the parish church.
Viticulture and Individual Events
Georg Toifl KG winery in Kleinhöflein near Retz has been in operation since 2010. Its vineyards are cultivated according to organic criteria. The vineyards of the Graf family’s organic winery are located in Kleinhöflein, Unterretzbach and Retz. Comparing their locations, Georg Toifl is associated with Kleinhöflein near Retz, while the Graf family’s vineyards are spread across three locations. The two wineries can therefore be distinguished by the locations specified for each.
A specific event, the Graf winemaking family’s courtyard festival, took place from 16 to 18 May 2025, featuring wines, house beer and culinary specialities from the winery. At a concert at Georg Toifl winery, an ensemble performed its own jazz arrangements, original compositions and selected pop covers in the style of the 1940s and 1950s. The events had different focuses: food and drink at the courtyard festival, and a musical programme of original pieces and selected covers at the concert.
