Austria-Carinthia

Gurk monastery, the church. Gothic frescoes. The elaborate building is Romanesque in its core, but also has elements of Gothic style (especially the ceiling of the main nave) and Baroque style. The formerly Benedictine, then Augustinian and now Salvatorian abbey of Gurk is one of Carinthia′s most elaborately decorated ones, but also among the top-notch attractions of Austria.
