Murau - Parish Church of St Matthew

Above the left bank of the Mur in Murau stands the Early Gothic parish church of St Matthew (13th C.). It contains some fine frescos, mainly 14th C., and a Gothic Crucifixion group, which once formed part of the main altar, later to form part of the nave when the church was remodeled in Baroque. In front of the church entrance will be found a fine "lantern of the dead".
