  • Servite Monastery: The monastery was founded in 1591 as a Franciscan monastery. The first buildings were built between 1593 and 1628. From 1635 until today, the monastery is run by the Servites , the order of the servants of Mary . Since 1989 the monastery has also housed a Catholic education center for Upper Carinthia. Some of the guest rooms overlook the terraced cloister garden facing the street. This is one of the most important early baroque monastery gardens in Austria. Its base and main structures have been preserved to this day. In addition to a glass house, another garden building is historically interesting: the octagonal, brick garden pavilion - also popularly known as the “sparrow temple” - with a wooden lantern from the 17th century. It was renovated inside and out in 2008/2009.
