Wallfahrtskirche Maria Lebing
Austria
Maria Lebing stands close to Hartberg's present-day cemetery, and that proximity shapes how you are most likely to find it: today the church is used mainly for funeral masses. The ground beneath it has long been tied to the dead. In 1409 an early Gothic church was raised on a Roman burial field known as the Lebern, and the main nave you stand in now is that original building. A memorial tablet of 1721 in the sacristy records that the Bishop of Seckau, Friedrich II of Perneck, consecrated the altar that year to the Holy Trinity and in praise of the Virgin. The church is dedicated to the Assumption, belongs to the parish of Hartberg as a benefice, and is a listed monument.
