The church was built in 1384 in quarry stone masonry and has remained unplastered. Therefore, the scaffolding holes are visible. It is one of the few churches in Styria whose original Gothic condition has been largely preserved. During renovation work in 1958, frescoes dating from around 1530 were uncovered. The frescoes in the chancel depict the Last Judgment. The floor of large stone slabs was laid in 1722. The sacristy was added to the church in 1771. The high altar was designed by the Hartberg sculptor Johann Feiner and the carpenter Georg Maurer in 1647.

This medieval hilltop castle was built in the 12th century by Gottschalk Schirling (from 1166 of Neitberg/Neuberg), son of Wulfing von Stubenberg, as a border fortress or "fighting castle" against the feared Hungarian armies and against all sorts of "pagan rabble" from the East.

Hartberg is a fine town with just under 6800 inhabitants, known primarily for its historic buildings. The main square is the heart of the city, featuring the town parish church, the town hall, the Marian column, and many other historical buildings, all of which are under monument protection. You can really feel the long history when you walk through it. It's not particularly ugly when the sun's rays shine on the main square and people sit together in the beer gardens of the numerous inns and cafés. You can comfortably enjoy a cool beer or a Styrian cider and gaze at the magnificent buildings. The main square is practically the living room of Hartberg, where people meet and wind down the day. And the square isn't just lively at all times, no! Many events take place there. Whether festivals, markets, or cultural highlights, there's always something going on at Hartberg's main square. This is how tradition stays alive and connects the past with the here and now. Anyone visiting Hartberg should definitely take time to experience the charm and hospitable atmosphere in the middle of the historic ambience. It is a real tip for anyone who wants to feel a bit of Styrian cosiness.

Worth seeing. Worth visiting. Worth hiking. I can't think of much more to say about this beautiful and imposing church here on the mountain. Except perhaps: The incredibly brilliant view.

Beautiful castle or church. From the outside and inside. Many photo opportunities. And those who have time can also visit the changing exhibition inside.

Whether from the outside or as part of a walk through the inner courtyards. The castle is really beautiful and perfect for many, many photos. When exploring the courtyards, take your time. There are many motifs worth capturing.
