Karnburg ( Slovene : Krnski grad ) is a village and cadastral municipality of the market town of Maria Saal in Austria. It is located about 5 km north of the Carinthian capital Klagenfurt and has 540 inhabitants (as of 2001).
General
The location is explained by the Roman road Via Julia Augusta , which led from Aquileia on the Adriatic over the Plöckenpass , through the Drautal to Treffen / Villach, on via Feldkirchen and Karnburg to the provincial capital Virunum . After the fall of the Roman Empire and the assumption of power (suzerainty) by the Franks, they probably only occupied the strategically most important places. These include today's Karnburg with Fürstenstein for the old center of power Virunum, the royal court in Treffen for the road junction Santicum (St. Ruprecht near Villach) and the road junction in Potschling (Loncium?) Near Irschen (castrum Ursen) - early Franconian grave slab 6/7 . Century.
To the north of Klagenfurt in Zollfeld and at the foot of the Ulrichsberg, the Haufendorf is located on a high plateau. The plateau was already settled in the Hallstatt period and was inhabited during Roman antiquity because of its proximity to the Municipium Virunum.
In the Middle Ages, Karnburg was the center of the Alpine Slavic principality of Carantania . With the colonization of Carinthia by the Bavarians, it became a Carolingian Palatinate ( Curtis Carantana ), with today's church as a Palatine Chapel. In the early Middle Ages, a fortification with palisades, walls, ramparts and trenches was built and the Carolingian royal court was built inside the fortifications. Apart from the church, nothing remains of the royal palace that stood at the foot of the Ulrichsberg . The prince stone was used to appoint the Carinthian dukes , both for the Slavic princes and later for the Carinthian dukes . Until 1862 it was located at Blasfeld northwest of the parish church.
According to Heinz Dopsch, however, the Karnburg was not the seat of the Slavic princes, but he describes it as an example of a refuge, which was built or expanded as the "Ottonian Großburg" (ducal palace) on the occasion of the establishment of the Duchy of Carinthia (976).
Palatinate Church
The former Palatinate Church was first mentioned in a document in 927, is the oldest church in Carinthia and one of the oldest in Austria. It is almost entirely preserved in its original form. A nearly square, but heavily warped and not in the main axis of the choir adjoins a rectangular hall. The triumphal arch to the ship originally opened in a semicircle. The building was probably built around 888. Numerous Roman relief and inscription stones were used for its construction; Remains of Romanesque wall paintings (13th century) have been preserved. In addition to the church, the complex also includes the Annenkapelle, a small Gothic building, and the connecting passage between the two churches.
Way of the Cross
A footpath leads from the village up to the Palatinate Church, lined with the fourteen stops of a Way of the Cross with niche sticks of the Passion of Jesus Christ .
A crucifixion group not far from the church is the fifteenth stop and end point of the Passion Way .
trail
A popular footpath leads from here to the Ulrichsberg . After an ascent of about an hour, the summit of the 1,022 meter high mountain, which lies in the middle of the Klagenfurt basin, is reached.
