history

On March 29, 1876 the community of Rückersdorf with the places Rückersdorf, Lauchenholz , Möchling , Mökriach , Stein i. Jauntal , St. Veit i. Jauntal and Vellach founded. During the Second World War , the rather poor community was merged with the community of Sittersdorf. An exact date of the dissolution has not yet been found.

The branch church Capella sancti Andreae was mentioned for the first time in 1154. Only the presbytery remains from this period .
