St. Leonhard ob Tamsweg, Gothic pilgrimage church in Tamsweg, Austria.
The stone church stands on the slope of Schwarzenberg Mountain, featuring pointed arches, intricate star-ribbed vaults, and a dominant bell tower.
Construction began in 1433 after reported miracles in 1421, when a statue of Saint Leonard vanished from Tamsweg parish church and reappeared on Schwarzenberg.
The church contains the largest winged altar from its period, commissioned by Cathedral Provost Burkhard von Weißpriach for religious ceremonies.
Visitors reach the church through several pilgrim paths lined with chapels, leading from the Tamsweg market town to the mountain slope location.
Hungarian King Matthias Corvin's forces established a military base within the church fortifications, maintaining their presence until 1489.
