Pfarrkirche St. Leonhard im Lavanttal

The church stands on an eastern slope overlooking the town, featuring a massive western tower topped with an onion dome built in the 17th century.

Construction of the current church began in the first third of the 14th century, replacing an original Leonard chapel established between 1106 and 1139.

The interior contains a three-nave basilica with numerous reliefs, frescoes, and a 17th-century high altar depicting the Assumption of Mary.

The church maintains its status as an independent deanery parish church since 1826, serving the local community with regular religious services.

Medieval stained glass windows from the church now reside in The Cloisters museum in New York City, sold during the economic hardships of the 1930s.
