Obervellach, Administrative division in Spittal an der Drau district, Carinthia, Austria.
Obervellach stands in the Möll river valley on the southern slope of the High Tauern mountains, near the Tauern Railway line and tunnel portal.
The settlement first appeared in records during the 10th century through a deed issued by Bishop Abraham of Freising, who created the Freising manuscripts.
The Late Gothic church building from 1500, consecrated by Bishop Berthold of Chiemsee, remains a central element of the municipal architecture.
The municipality connects to major Austrian cities through the Tauern Railway, with the station located near Kaponig village in the administrative district.
From the 12th century onward, the area developed as a gold and silver mining center, later becoming the seat of Inner Austrian mining authority in 1509.
