Weizbergkirche, Baroque parish church in Weiz, Austria
The Weizbergkirche stands on a hill overlooking Weiz and defines the regional landscape with its prominent roof structure and late Baroque forms. The church interior combines straightforward design with ornate decoration featuring stucco, painted surfaces, and carefully crafted altars.
Construction started in 1757 under master builder Josef Hueber, with the shell completed and first services held by December 1758. Interior decoration followed in the subsequent years and shaped the church's appearance.
The interior decorations, completed in 1769, include works by sculptor Veit Königer and painter Joseph Adam von Mölk, displaying religious artistry of the period.
The church is open to visitors during regular hours and can be easily reached on foot from the village center. Its elevated position on the hilltop makes it a visible landmark from various points in the area.
Notable artists including sculptor Veit Königer and painter Joseph Adam von Mölk contributed to the interior decoration during the 1760s. Their work remains visible in the altars and wall decorations throughout the church.
