    In the middle of the town, halfway up the southern castle slope on an artificially widened terrace, stands the Murau parish church. The church square surrounding the building, originally a cemetery, is surrounded by a surrounding wall and is accessible from the south via a brick staircase and from the east via a small wooden staircase. 

    The construction of St. Matthew's Church is said to have begun in 1284, when it was donated by Otto I, Lord of Liechtenstein. 

    The patronage was formerly the Lordship of Liechtenstein, but since 1623 it has been the Lordship of Schwarzenberg. 

    In 1985, the interior of the parish church was completely renovated, and so the parish church showed off its most beautiful side on the occasion of the celebrations for its 700th anniversary. 

    On the occasion of the 700th anniversary, the town of Murau dedicated a 515 kg bell in honor of St. Clement.

      The patron, Prince Schwarzenberg, covered the costs of the 190 kg bell in honor of St. John Nepomuk.

      Diocesan Bishop Johann Weber consecrated the two bells at the parish festival on September 22, 1996.
