Marienkirche am Benediktinermarkt, Baroque church at Benediktinerplatz, Klagenfurt, Austria
Marienkirche am Benediktinermarkt is a Baroque church featuring an octagonal tower topped with a copper onion dome and lantern. The tower rises between the nave and choir sections, creating a distinctive architectural composition.
The church was built in 1613 by Carinthian Catholic estates and required reconstruction after a fire in 1636. The tower received its present form in the early 1700s.
The church is named after Mary, who held special importance in religious life during the Baroque period. Visitors can observe through the tombstones how the building reflects the social standing of those buried within its walls.
Visitors can enter during posted opening hours, which are displayed at the church entrance. Since this is an active place of worship, guests should be respectful during service times.
The Antoniuskapelle was added in 1650 and holds a ceiling painting of Saint Anthony created by Johann Kolb in 1851. This artwork is a rare example of religious decoration added nearly 200 years after the chapel itself was built.
