The branch church of St. Michael ob Rauchödt rises on a rocky knoll east of Grünbach.Since 1122 it was a branch parish with burial rights, which is still reminiscent of the former churchyard enclosed by a wall. At first there was a wooden church, also dedicated to the Archangel St. Michael. The Gothic building as we find it today was built in 1510.
The most remarkable of this two-nave church is the late Gothic winged altar. His shrine figures are St. Michael and the Saints Nicholas and Stephan. The insides of the carved wings tell the legends of the depicted saints.
