Tips from the Community
City Parish Church of St. Matthew, Murau In the middle of the town, halfway up the southern castle slope, on an artificially widened terrace, stands the Murau town parish church. The church square surrounding the building, originally a cemetery, is enclosed by a surrounding wall and is accessible from the south via a brick staircase, and from the east via a small wooden staircase. The construction of St. Matthew's Church is said to have begun in 1284, when Otto I, Lord of Liechtenstein, endowed it. Patronage was formerly the Lordship of Liechtenstein, since 1623 it has been the Lordship of Schwarzenberg. In 1985, a fundamental interior renovation of the town parish church took place, and thus the town parish church showed its most beautiful side on the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations. On the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations, the municipality of Murau dedicated a 515 kg bell in honor of St. Klemens. The patron lord Prince Schwarzenberg bore the costs of the 190 kg bell in honor of St. Johannes Nepomuk. Diocesan Bishop Johann Weber consecrated the two bells at the parish festival on September 22, 1996.

Mariensäule, Schillerplatz, Murau In the middle of Schillerplatz stands today the baroque plague votive group. In a pyramid-like ascending composition, the front facing the church. The Mariensäule stands on a hexagonal square, bordered by a low, wrought-iron grille, on a high pedestal. On a round column stands the statue of St. Mary Immaculata. In the corners stand the six plague saints. The Mariensäule was not changed during the renovation work on Schillerplatz. However, the plague saints were re-erected and the wrought-iron grille was renovated. Text / Source: Murau, Raffaltplatz 10, 8850 Murau https://www.murau.gv.at/mariensaule.html
