Pfarrkirche Schöngrabern

The late Romanesque stone church stands on a gentle hill in the northern part of Schöngrabern with carved figures adorning its exterior apse.

The church was constructed between 1210 and 1230, possibly commissioned by Hadmar II of Kuenring as penance for the capture of King Richard the Lionheart.

The church features detailed stone reliefs from the early 13th century, known as the Stone Bible, making it a significant religious monument in Austria.

The interior of the church measures twelve meters in width and contains large windows, Gothic wall paintings, and a historic organ from 1816.

Archaeological excavations between 1975 and 1978 revealed priest graves from the 17th and 18th centuries and uncovered the original Romanesque altar table.
