Kirche am Magdalensberg

The church features a tall nave, a narrower main choir, and a southern side choir, supported by stepped buttresses decorated with pointed gables.

Built in the late 12th century by the Lords of Osterwitz, the church underwent expansion in 1462 by Master Mothe and was completed at the end of 15th century.

The church holds an important Gothic altar from 1502, displaying a large carved figure of Saint Helena surrounded by representations of Saint Catherine and Barbara.

The church serves as a starting point for the Vierbergelauf, a regional religious event, and maintains regular religious services throughout the year.

Located at the summit of Magdalensberg at 1058 meters elevation, the church stands on the site of a former Celtic-Roman sanctuary.
