The church is constantly changing; it is being renovated, renovated and expanded. Some sacred buildings also have to be sold, such as the Stiegenkirche in Graz. Will there be more sales? Which secular buildings were once places of worship?
When buildings change ownership, the public usually doesn’t notice much. But this sale caused an uproar: in the summer the Baroque Stiegenkirche in the heart of Graz’s Old Town became private property and the noble Goëss-Saurau family, whose palace adjoins the church, bought it. The fact that the church continues to open its doors to the faithful on selected holidays and that the family is responsible for its expensive maintenance was, as they say, “a windfall” for the diocese.
