Pfarrkirche Heiliger Georg in Sternberg, Wernberg

The church stands on a steep hill north of the South Highway, featuring a Romanesque choir tower and Gothic ribbed vaulting in its nave.

Founded between 1170 and 1180 by the Counts of Sternberg, the church received its first documented mention as a parish church in 1285.

The interior contains a late Gothic baptismal font and a Lenten veil from 1629 depicting scenes from both Old and New Testaments.

The church maintains its role as an active religious center within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gurk, serving the local community of Wernberg.

During restoration work in 1997, workers uncovered a large 16th-century sundial fresco and restored the architectural decorations from the 18th century.
