Feuerhalle Villach, Protected monument and morgue in Villach, Austria.

The Feuerhalle Villach features a service hall and crematorium within a 15-hectare forest cemetery, marked by clean cubic shapes and flat hipped roofs.

Built between 1952 and 1953 by architect Erich Boltenstern, this facility became the sixth crematorium in Austria and the first constructed after World War II.

The funeral hall provides a dedicated space for memorial services and final farewells, reflecting Austrian funeral traditions and practices.

The facility operates two cremation furnaces, one electric and one gas-powered, serving over 30 funeral homes in Carinthia with approximately 1,300 cremations annually.

The building received substantial renovations between 2002 and 2006, expanding its capabilities with additional cooling rooms and a second cremation system.
