  2. Dom

    Gurk is famous for its former Dom, which was built between 1140 and 1200. With its harmonious pillared crypt, this is Austria's foremost church from the Romanesque epoch. Inside you will also find Gothic reticulated vaulting, and most of the church fittings are either baroque or rococo. The early-baroque high altar has 72 statues and 82 angel heads.
