Parish Church of Gleisdorf

Highlight • Religious Site

Parish church in Gleisdorf:
The church, completed in 1500, was expanded for the first time between 1670 and 1672. From 1891 to 1894 the church was extended to the east according to plans by the Graz architect Robert Mikovics. The church shows a historicist interior by August von Wörndle. A special liturgical feature is the walk-in baptismal font sunk into the ground in the shape of a Greek cross (1997).

Squirrel Sculpture, Hofstätten an der Raab

Highlight • Monument

Since the beginning of 2018, ten horseshoe sculptures have been erected in the Weiz-Gleisdorf energy region as part of the LEADER project "Kunst.Hot.Spot." The total project volume amounts to €85,500, 60 percent of which is funded by LEADER funds.
It all began in the municipality of Naas with the ceremonial opening of a Styrian panther in July 2018. Eight more horseshoe sculptures followed in the municipalities of Thannhausen, Puch bei Weiz, St. Ruprecht an der Raab, Hofstätten an der Raab, Mitterdorf an der Raab, Mortantsch, Gleisdorf, and Weiz.
The ten sculptures represent a Styrian panther. Panther with municipal coat of arms (Naas), mother cow with calf (Thannhausen), apple with heart (Puch), book and viola (St. Ruprecht/R.), squirrel (Hofstätten), municipal coat of arms in 3D (Mitterdorf), mouflon (Mortantsch), Styrian panther with municipal logo (Gleisdorf), Weiz "W" and the Styrian panther with apple.

Kleeberg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

A landmark is the 31.4 meter high observation tower on the 499 meter high hill, called Kleeberg. The control room has 140 steps and was built in 2001. Contributors were the then mayor Johann Zengerer, artist and sculptor Fred Höfler and architect Johann Wahlhütter. A great view is guaranteed up here!

Nearby (address: Sulz 73a, 8321 St. Margarethen an der Raab) there is a tavern called "Maier couple", which offers typical regional dishes and is mostly open from Friday to Sunday.
