Church of the Assumption, Parish church in Weißkirchen in Steiermark, Austria.
The Church of the Assumption features a square choir tower from the Romanesque period and includes a Gothic choir added after 1480 in its structure.
The initial church structure dates back to 1060 when Duke Adalbero of Carinthia exchanged tithes with the Archbishop of Salzburg, mentioning Wizinchiriche in documents.
The building contains five bells, with the oldest cast in 1661, while the newer folk altar from 1995 references local iron production through its materials.
Located at Maria Buch 1, the church maintains regular services and belongs to the pastoral area of Obdach within the Diocese of Graz-Seckau.
Renovations in the late 1960s uncovered ancient frescoes in the Altkirche section, displaying religious themes and historical coat-of-arms designs.
