Rupertikirche

The Rupertikirche, also known as the Filialkirche St. Rupert or Aribonenkirche, is a Roman Catholic church located in the 16th district of Graz, Straßgang.

The Rupertikirche is an early Romanesque church, possibly dating back to the Carolingian period. It was first mentioned in historical records in 1354.The small church in the city of Graz is believed to be the oldest church.

The building, which is currently privately owned, was most likely constructed by the Archbishop of Salzburg as a deliberate response to the nearby Aribonen churches (such as St. Georg, which is now the parish church of Maria im Elend in Straßgang, and St. Martin).

Although the building’s exterior has largely maintained its simple architecture, the interior has undergone multiple reconstructions. In 1620, the nave was vaulted and the choir was constructed. Additionally, in 1675, the high altar was finally completed.
