Klagenfurt Cathedral
Built between 1578-91, Klagenfurt Cathedral (Dom zu Klagenfurt) has, since 1787, been the cathedral of the Prince-Bishop of Gurk who resides in Klagenfurt. The interior of the columned church, defined by its three large galleries, boasts rich stucco decoration and wall and ceiling paintings from the 18th century. Also of note are the impressive pulpit from 1726, the 18th-century painting by Daniel Gran on the high altar, and the side chapels with their exquisite marble detailing. The house next to the cathedral contains the Gurk Diocesan Museum with displays of church vestments, religious art, altarpieces, and stained glass, including the Mary Magdalene Glass (Magdalenenscheibe) dating from 1170, thought to be the oldest stained glass in Austria.
