Marienkirche am Benediktinermarkt, Baroque church at Benediktinerplatz, Klagenfurt, Austria

The Marienkirche features an octagonal tower with a copper onion dome and lantern positioned between the nave and choir section of the building.

Built in 1613 by Carinthian Catholic estates, the church underwent reconstruction after fire damage in 1636, followed by tower enhancements in 1723.

The church contains numerous tombstones and memorials that document the social structure of upper-class society during the Counter-Reformation period.

The Marienkirche maintains regular religious services under the current rector Pavo Dominkovic OFM, continuing its centuries-old tradition of worship.

The Antoniuskapelle chapel, added in 1650, displays a ceiling glorification of Saint Anthony painted by Johann Kolb in 1851.
