Werthenau Castle
Werthenau Castle , named after the Villacher Burgamtmann Michael Pfleger von Werthenau, is located in the Völkendorf district in Villach .
The noblemen's seat was probably built in 1625 and, among other things, rebuilt in the middle of the 18th century. The castle, which has been owned by the Millesi family since the 18th century, now houses private apartments.
Castle construction
The medium-sized, three-storey, cubic building with an unadorned facade has two corner oriel towers with onion domes on the narrow south side. The entrance hall and the ground floor rooms have groined vaults . Parts of the original furnishings have been preserved in the former hunter's room on the upper floor.
Castle chapel
The free-standing, small castle chapel stands west of the farm buildings. It is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception and was built in either 1625 or 1741. The chapel with a cloverleaf-shaped facade gable, inside a flat ceiling, has a recessed choir with a straight end. A coat of arms marked 1741 is placed above the entrance. To the left of this is the grave slab of Mathias Johan Edler von Millesi from 1801. The altarpiece with a representation of the Immaculate was painted in 1741 by Josef Ferdinand Fromiller .
