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.

Today's parish and former cathedral church of the Assumption of Mary is located on the eastern edge of the town of Gurk on a low terrace not far from the Gurk River. In the sparsely built-up middle Gurk valley, the cathedral's imposing, 60-meter-high twin towers can be seen from afar.

Structurally adjacent to the cathedral is the Gurk Abbey, which housed the cathedral chapter until 1792 and then, with interruptions, various religious orders.

Beautiful cathedral just worth seeing. And opposite nice small gastronomy to stop off.
