St. Anna Cemetery Church
MurauAll the richness of late medieval church furnishings can still be found in the cemetery church of St. Anne. The church was built around 1400 in memory of a host theft on the spot where the Blessed Sacrament was found. The nave with ribbed vaulting is connected to the small choir, in the main part of which there is an organ gallery with a rich tracery parapet.
A special feature of St. Anne's Church is its extremely high quality and uniform glass window decorations that adorn the three choir windows.
From the Gothic furnishings, a winged altar under a stone canopy (with depictions of the discovery of the host), the third group of Anna Selb in the middle of the baroque high altar and numerous frescoes have been preserved. The magnificent triumphal arch fresco of the root of Jesse is dated 1518. The pews with carved bird heads date from the 17th century. In 1972 and 1974 the interior and exterior of the church were renovated. In the following years the church received new bells.
The cemetery church can be visited all year round.
