The church was built in 1384 in quarry stone masonry and has remained unplastered. Therefore, the scaffolding holes are visible. It is one of the few churches in Styria whose original Gothic condition has been largely preserved. During renovation work in 1958, frescoes dating from around 1530 were uncovered. The frescoes in the chancel depict the Last Judgment. The floor of large stone slabs was laid in 1722. The sacristy was added to the church in 1771. The high altar was designed by the Hartberg sculptor Johann Feiner and the carpenter Georg Maurer in 1647.

The pond is beautiful, sure. But with the view behind it of the mountains around Pöllau, including Pöllauberg Abbey... it's perfect.

A lovely chapel here by the path. I liked it during my visit as part of my hike. Especially the paintings inside. Right next to it, you'll also find a place to sit.

This church is already over 500 years old. For a long time, it was not certain that it would ever reach this age. In 1806, there were even calls for the church to be demolished, but this was only prevented because the community of Hofkirchen promised to cover the costs of its maintenance. Deither maintains it and constantly renovates it - most recently in 2002. The Gothic style has essentially been preserved, which is why this church is worth seeing: a Styrian landmark.

The half-round chapel with a round gable from the Baroque period was built in 1818 by the three farmers Johann Georg Gartlgruber, Josef Schirnhofer and Johann Josef Schirnhofer. At the rear there is a Rainstein (Rain = border), which divides the chapel and the adjacent fields between two owners. Source: Folder Kapellenweg - market town Kaindorf
