Sights

    St. Laurence Parish Church: The first documented mention of the Gleisdorf church was in 1229 as a daughter church of the parish of Sankt Ruprecht an der Raab. In 1648-1672 the present baroque church was built and dedicated to St. Lawrence of Rome. Historicist extensions are from 1891-1893. On the outer facade there is a Roman stone of the 2nd century.
    On the main square, in front of the town parish church, there is a Marian column from 1665. The "Lady's Column" was on the occasion of Montecuccoli's victory over the Ottomans at St. Gotthard/Mogersdorf (1664).[24] The statue on the "Turk's Column" originally looked in the opposite direction.
