Discover Feldkirchen in Carinthia

Feldkirchen in Carinthia offers a variety of reasons to visit: church architecture, town history and a landscape shaped by streams, basins and meadows. If you are looking for a hotel, you can start by considering which of these themes you would like to shape your stay. The places and topics below are quite distinct: from the architecture and paintings of historic churches to their present-day cultural and event use, as well as passenger flights with the aviation club.

Church architecture and historic details

The parish church of Feldkirchen is a three-aisled Late Romanesque basilica with a five-storey chancel tower. Its Gothic choir dates from the 14th century. Remains of wall paintings from 1220/1230 have been preserved in the former chancel-tower bay. The architecture and paintings therefore offer different historical points of reference: the choir dates from the 14th century, while the dated remains of the paintings point to an earlier period. The parish church of Maria im Dorn is a five-minute walk from the main square, on the steep northern edge of the Tiebel. This location adds a practical point of orientation in town to the architectural and painted details.

Town history and cultural uses

The Bamberg Amthof now serves as a cultural and event centre. Its programme may change, so specific event dates should be checked separately when planning your trip. The Amthof Museum in Feldkirchen presents various topics and features from the past of the town and its surrounding area. The museum and event centre thus represent two different perspectives: one focuses on historical content, while the other is a present-day cultural venue.

The Lindl Chapel adds another connection to art and cultural history. It is a 19th-century Marian chapel; its groin vault was once painted by the Feldkirchen family of painters, DeCillia. Today, the chapel is used mainly for baptisms, weddings, and cultural and religious events. Its construction period, history of paintings and present-day use each reflect a different aspect of the chapel.

Basin, stream and landscape

Feldkirchen lies in a basin crossed by the Tiebel stream. The landscape around Feldkirchen is characterised by gentle wooded hills and green meadows. The stream, basin and surroundings describe different aspects of the landscape: the Tiebel flows through the basin, while the wooded hills and meadows shape the wider area. If you would like to consider the landscape as well as the churches and town history, these features offer a distinct focus for your stay.

Passenger flights and travel

The Feldkirchen Ossiacher See Aviation Club offers passenger flights in motor aircraft, touring motor gliders, ultralight aircraft and gliders. Availability depends on the weather and operations. Check with the club in advance to see whether a flight is possible on your planned date.
