The church was built in 1309 and dedicated to the apostle Bartholomew. To visit the church, you can pick up the key from the house next door - it's worth it.

Our Austrian Archduke Johann called this church a little treasure chest when he visited Altenburg around 1850.
The former parish church of Windhaag near Perg on the site of the old castle was begun in 1309.
It was rebuilt around 1512 and 1540.
The church is built in a simple Gothic style and dedicated to St. Bartholomew the Apostle.
Under the Anna Chapel there is a crypt for the Counts of Windhaag. It was rediscovered in 1907 and was filled with 12 rotten wooden coffins. It is decorated with well-preserved frescoes. The pictures show the Last Judgement, Christ on the Cross, Saints Andrew, Bartholomew, Pantaleon and Christopher, and two coats of arms.
The bones were buried in the ossuary.
