Kötschach (Koče) is a street market in the municipality of Kötschach-Mauthen in Carinthia .

The street market in Kötschach was established before Roman times on the way from the Drautal via the Gailbergsattel to the Plöckenpass and has 1,612 inhabitants (2001). It was first mentioned in a document in 1307 for the Görzisches Amt. In the 15th century Kötschach was under the rule of the Austrian sovereign Emperor Friedrich III. Mining made Kötschach the most important place in the upper Gailtal. Ecclesiastically, Kötschach was part of the Patriarchate of Aquileja from 811 until the Emperor Joseph II allocated the territory to the Diocese of Gurk . The rural homestead form is the Paarhof with wide-gabled houses, stable barns with drying aisles and pole frames.
