The Romanesque church from the 12th century is one of the most important buildings of the European religious art. Highlights include the 100-column crypt as well as the fasting cloth (1458). The treasure chamber contains over 300 objects of the Carinthian sacral art. Ten rooms offer a representative insight into the religious art of the past eras.
