Filial church St. Leonhard (Liebenfels)
The Roman Catholic Filial church St. Leonhard of the parish Glantschach of the deanery St. Veit an der Glan stands a little higher in the middle of a courtyard in the village St. Leonhard in the municipality Liebenfels . It was first mentioned in a document in 1253. A comprehensive restoration took place in 2007.
Building
The small church is originally a Romanesque building, which was expanded in the Gothic . The Gothic choir is the same width but higher than the Romanesque nave. It is supported by two-tier buttresses . Above the eastern part of the nave, leaning against the choir, sits a turret with a pointed pyramid roof. The nave, choir and tower are covered with clapboards. A round arched door with an iron-studded wooden door leads into the church.
A pointed triumphal arch connects the flat-roofed nave and the choir. The choir has a groin vault and a five-eighth closure . The church interior is illuminated by narrow, Gothic pointed arched windows in the choir and a high-lying, Romanesque window in the nave.
Facility
On the cartilage altar from 1654 stands the figure of St. Leonhard , on the side a late Gothic St. Leonhard from around 1440 and a baroque St. Antonius hermit from the 18th century. A gilded, entwined monogram of Mary and Jesus can be seen in the top . The antependium shows a flower-framed tondo of St. Leonhard surrounded by tendrils of flowers.
