Kirchenanlage Maria Wörth, Religious architectural complex in Maria Wörth, Austria.

The religious complex stands on a rocky peninsula at Lake Wörthersee, featuring the Parish Church of St. Primus and Felician and the Winter Church.

Between 875 and 883, the site became a possession of the Freising diocese, establishing a central parish and missionary center for the Carinthia region.

The main altar from 1658 contains a late Gothic statue of Mary with child from 1460, flanked by statues of patron saints Primus and Felician.

The church complex includes multiple buildings, three cemetery portals, and burial grounds, with regular services held in different languages including Slovenian and Italian.

The church complex originally stood on an island until 1770, when landfills and declining water levels created a connection to the mainland.
