Pfarrkirche hl. Martin

The parish church stands on a terrace a little higher above the town's Marktstrasse, at the foot of the approx. 200 m high basalt cone with the Riegersburg. The church is on the right at the beginning of the ascent to the castle. Reinprecht von Reichenburg, after returning home in 1481, arranged for a new parish church to be built. Due to his fault, he had to stop the construction work around 1500 and died in 1505. His son and heir Hans was able to improve the economic situation of the Riegersburg with his heir, Eva von Trautson, and together with the pastor Matthias Weinreber (1517–1554) the church was completed. The late Gothic church was completed under his son Hans. At the richly crossed and crabbed keel arch portal, the main entrance of the church, there is a coat of arms on the left and right. The two-bay Wenceslas Chapel with a ribbed vault was connected to an existing buttress in the north of the nave as a side chapel. The first tower was completed in the 2nd quarter of the 16th century. The two-bay room on the north side of the choir, built in the 17th century, initially served as a sacristy. He is the weekday chapel today. In the 17th century, the Gothic tower was changed with round arched sound windows in the Renaissance form. At the same time as the second tower was built, an open vestibule was added in front of the entrance portal. The sessio in the end of the choir was broken through in the 18th century for a rectangular portal in order to create access to the square sacristy that was added later. The tower's small onion helmet was repaired in 1911.
