Church of the Assumption of Mary, Maria Saal

The Church of the Assumption of Mary features multiple pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and intricate stone carvings throughout its 50-meter-long structure.

Construction of this Catholic church began in 1430, replacing an earlier religious structure from 753 AD established by missionary bishop Modestus.

The cathedral served as a ceremonial site where Dukes of Carinthia received religious blessings after their installation at the nearby Prince's Stone.

Located at 3 Domplatz in Maria Saal, the church maintains regular visiting hours and continues to function as an active parish for local worship.

The bishop of Gurk maintains a traditional dual role by simultaneously serving as the dean of the Church of the Assumption of Mary.
