1550 Allerheiligen im Mürztal Allerheiligen im Mürztal is situated at an altitude of 713 m in the valley of the river Mürz in Upper Styria. A document of 1065 mentions a farmhouse in the area called Sölsnitz. The name Allerheiligen is found for the first time in a document of 1154, mentioning the dedication of the church in the village called Kapellen to All Saints (Allerheiligen).

The parish church Allerheiligen was built in late Gothic style in the second half of the 15th century. The church originally had two naves, built in 1467. The pillars separating the two naves and the original valting were later removed to make way for the magnificent star-ribbed vaulting. The ceiling frescos dating from 1499 were only uncovered in 1955. The characteristic west tower with its steep roof was completed in 1467. Treasures of the church are the Gothic baptismal font and a bell cast and dedicated to All Saints in 1515.
