View of the Domitian Statue at Lake Millstatt

Domitian statues:
in the niche of the Burgstaller house on the market square in Millstatt, at the FF depot Millstatt, and on a platform in the lake in front of the Schiller Park (4.20 m high sculpture modeled by Prof. Giorgio Igne from Sacile/Italy)Saint Domitian and the creation of Millstatt:
At Hochgosch, opposite Millstatt, there are the remains of a castle. A pagan duke is said to have once lived here. He is said to have immigrated from the east in the 8th century and to have been of Slavic descent. This pagan was now converted to Christianity in a very strange way.At that time, the lake stretched from Millstatt to Radenthein, and its water level reached as far as Calvary. Domitian, that was the name of this duke, had a son. He wanted to take a trip on the lake. But because there was a strong wind, his parents advised him against it. However, disobedient as he was, he did not allow himself to be dissuaded from his resolution.

What a great picture.

A trip to Lake Millstatt is always worthwhile.
Especially when the weather was as good as we had.
