St. Jakob

St. Jakob exhibits classical Gothic elements with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses that support its stone structure throughout the building.

Founded in the 12th century, this religious structure stands as one of the oldest churches in Villach and underwent multiple renovations to maintain its architectural integrity.

The church maintains a collection of detailed stained glass windows and altarpieces that represent religious narratives through medieval artistic techniques.

Located at Rathausplatz Square in central Villach, the church opens daily for visitors and holds regular religious services throughout the week.

The church grounds transform into a regional market space during Easter, establishing a connection between religious heritage and local commerce.
