Grabenkirche, Parish church and former monastery in Geidorf district, Graz, Austria

The Grabenkirche features baroque architectural elements throughout its structure, with a high altar depicting John the Baptist flanked by Saints Peter and Paul.

The church grounds included an adjacent Antoniuskirche until 1786, when Josephinian reforms led to the monastery's dissolution and establishment of a parish under Ludwig Jakomini.

The interior displays collected artworks from various churches, including Hans Adam Weissenkircher's painting 'The Annunciation to Mary' installed on the side wall in 1996.

Regular masses take place at the Grabenkirche, which underwent renovations in 2007 to make the parish house accessible for wheelchair users including parish priest Markus Madl.

The church's tabernacle, adorned with intricate vine decorations, originates from the demolished Georgskirche in Murvorstadt, preserving a piece of local religious heritage.
