Sights in Murau

  1. Stadtpfarrkirche St Matthäus

    Stadtpfarrkirche St Matthäus, a Gothic church remodelled in baroque style. Both elements work surprisingly well together, especially in the combination of the Gothic crucifixion group (1500) and the baroque high altar (1655). The beautiful frescoes date from the 14th to 16th centuries.
