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.

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.

I was there today. I didn't use the Komoot route, as it mostly led me along the main road. I followed the Alpine Club trail for large sections. It was a wonderful tour and a beautiful destination.

Beautiful bathing lake that invites you to take a swim on warm days. But it is also very beautiful there in winter and you can also cycle around the lake wonderfully.

Currently (Sept. 2024) the cycle path is unfortunately closed due to damage caused by flooding/strong winds. I suspect that will take some time.

This church is already over 500 years old. For a long time, it was not certain that it would ever reach this age. In 1806, there were even calls for the church to be demolished, but this was only prevented because the community of Hofkirchen promised to cover the costs of its maintenance. Deither maintains it and constantly renovates it - most recently in 2002. The Gothic style has essentially been preserved, which is why this church is worth seeing: a Styrian landmark.
