The cathedral is simply bombastic and opposite a nice restaurant to rest in these times rather the exception

Gurk Cathedral is located in Gurk in Carinthia. The building is a pillar basilica built between 1140 and 1200 in the High Romanesque style, which is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Europe due to the minimal structural changes. The elongated basilica has a double-towered west façade, a gallery, a crypt and three apses. The crypt, which has 100 columns, is the oldest part of the church. In the year of its consecration in 1174, the grave of Saint Hemma of Gurk was moved there.

Gurk Cathedral was built between 1140 and 1200. Thanks to the minimal structural changes, the cathedral is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Europe. The associated Gurk treasury houses the outstanding collection of the Carinthian Diocesan Museum. You can view over 300 objects of Carinthian religious art in the Gothic and Baroque rooms of the Gurk provost's court.
