Burg, Historic museum building in central Klagenfurt, Austria.
Burg in Klagenfurt is a three-story museum building with a rectangular layout featuring arcaded courtyards and halls with ornate stucco ceilings. The interior displays rich decoration, especially in spaces with elaborate ceiling work from the 1680s.
The building was founded in 1586 as a Protestant noble school and later served as the burggraf's residence. Over time it underwent major alterations that shaped its appearance.
The Museum Moderner Kunst Kärnten uses the building today, connecting it to the region's art heritage. The name refers to its past role as the burgraves' seat, which remains visible in the architecture and furnishings.
The building is centrally located in Klagenfurt at the intersection of Burggasse and Paradeisergasse streets, easily reached on foot. It is accessible on weekdays and hosts regular exhibitions of contemporary art across multiple gallery spaces.
A chapel was added in 1734 containing a fresco by Fromiller depicting the Triumph of Saint Domitian. This religious artwork honors the burgraves of Klagenfurt and stands as a notable feature within.
