St. Peter-Freienstein, the name of the market town itself tells of two places: Freienstein, where a castle once stood, where there is now a church, and the old parish church of St. Petrus in the town center.
The town's landmark, which can be seen from afar, is the pilgrimage church "Maria Seven Sorrows on Freienstein", built on a rocky plateau a good 100 meters above the town of St. Peter-Freienstein. The church occupies the exact spot where Leoben Castle once stood.
