Maria am Leech, Gothic church in Graz, Austria

The Maria am Leech church stands on an artificial hill in the eastern part of Graz, surrounded by residential buildings and university facilities.

The German Order began constructing the current Maria am Leech building in 1255, following the destruction of the original Romanesque structure during a Hungarian invasion.

The church features stained glass windows from the first half of the 14th century depicting scenes from Jesus's life and representations of holy figures.

The church maintains regular opening hours from Monday to Thursday between 8:00 and 16:00, and on Friday from 8:00 to 12:00.

Archaeological excavations between 1991 and 1994 revealed remains of an Urnfield culture burial site and foundation walls of an 11th-century circular structure.
