Church Maria im Elend, Baroque parish church in Straßgang district, Graz, Austria.
The Church Maria im Elend stands on the northeastern slope of Florianiberg mountain, featuring Roman tombstones embedded in its exterior walls from the 2nd century.
Initially established as a Romanesque St. George's Church in the 10th century, the structure became a parish church in 1140 under the Benedictine monastery of Admont.
The church commemorates the Flight into Egypt, marking the second of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, with its patronal festival celebrated on September 15th.
The church building is located at Florianibergstraße 13 in Graz, maintaining its function as both a parish church and pilgrimage destination for the community.
Johann Baptist Pozzo added two chapels and a sacristy to the nave, while architect Johann Georg Stengg constructed the baroque roof turret.
