The Masenberg at 1,262 m above sea level is the last high spur of the Central Alps towards the east. With its elongated mountain ridge, it separates the Vorau basin to the north and the Lafnitztal to the east.

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.

A really nice resting place here on the banks of the Pöllauer Safen. Tables, benches, swing - everything is there. Nestled in a beautiful patch of nature. We didn't want to leave here at all ... :)

187 steps to "happiness". But in between, there are also resting places along the way up to catch your breath. The view at the top is really beautiful. Riegersburg, Geschriebenstein, Wechsel... everything is there. And of course, there's also a bench at the very top to take a break. I liked it.

Worth a visit any time of year. Action in summer. Peace and quiet in winter, romance in autumn. Awakening in spring. We always love coming back here.
