Dominikanerkirche, Friesach, Gothic church in Friesach, Austria
The Dominikanerkirche extends 74 meters in length, making it the largest church in Carinthia with three-bay choir and five-eighths termination.
Established in 1217, this church represents the first Dominican monastery in German-speaking territories, with construction of the nave completed between 1265 and 1268.
The interior features a Friesacher Madonna sandstone statue from 1340, displaying intricate craftsmanship with rich polychrome additions from the late 15th century.
The church stands north of the city moat and contains multiple architectural sections including a west gallery, side aisles, and a central nave for visitors to explore.
The monumental Gabelkruzifix from the 14th century demonstrates theological symbolism where new life emerges from the dead tree trunk of the cross.
