The filial church of St Michael ob Rauchenödt rises on a rocky outcrop to the east of the village of Grünbach.
From 1122, it was a filial parish with burial rights, as the former churchyard enclosed by a wall still reminds us. Initially there was a wooden church here, also dedicated to St Michael the Archangel. The Gothic building as we see it today was built in 1510.
The most remarkable feature of this two-aisled church is the late Gothic winged altar. Its shrine figures are St Michael and St Nicholas and St Stephen. The insides of the carved wings tell the legends of the saints depicted.
She is also available for guided tours of the church by appointment.
