history
In 1496 a chapel was built on what was then Judenplatz, the site of a presumed former synagogue, which today forms the choir of the church. The new building of the nave took place according to the inscription on the main portal with Ruep. Kummer Bürger and Fischer zu Radkersburg 1643 in the tradition of a late Gothic hall church. Remains of the former cemetery can be seen on the south side of the church. From 1749 until the border was drawn on the Mur River in 1920 , services for the Slovene-speaking population were held in the Frauenkirche, which was also a garrison church . The church was restored outside in 1962 and 2006 and inside in 1967.
architecture
On the three-aisled, four-bay nave with a ribbed vault on octagonal pillars, the one-bay choir closes with a five-eighth end and remnants of round services. The edges of the arched arcades, the front arch, the pillars and the vault are baroque stucco. A stately, square, four-storey tower with pilasters rises above the first yoke of the south aisle. In 1802 the multi-articulated onion helmet was put on with the builder Michael Schmidt. The four figures of saints in the corners of the top floor of the tower are labeled Johannes Prandner 1666 . The figures show the patron saint Sebastian against the plague, Florian against the fire, Urban for the wine and Johannes Evangelist against the hail. At the height of the third yoke, a rectangular chapel each is built to the north and south. The west facade has a triangular gable, below it in the central axis the main portal with a stone wall and split gable. The door leaves are made of enamelled sheet copper reliefs by Franz Weiss (1968). A stone pieta from the middle of the 17th century stands in a wall niche above the main portal. The north side shows the inscription 1643. Frescoes in the choir show an altar with a canopy, angels and symbols of the Eucharist.
