Maria Lankowitz is a small market township near Köflach in the district of Voitsberg in the Austrian state of Styria, at the foot of the Stubalpe mountain.

History

[edit]

Maria Lankowitz was first mentioned in records in 1415. The 15th-century church is the most important Styrian place of pilgrimage after Mariazell.

Economy

[edit]

On the mountain pastures, where the Lipizzaner horses to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna graze in summer, there are ski pistes and cross-country ski runs. The former coal mines have been turned into a lake and a golf course.
