The pilgrimage church of Sts. Primus and Felician in Maria Woerth sits on a small peninsula in the Woerthersee, giving it the most recognizable position of any church in Carinthia. The dedication to two Roman martyrs from the Diocletian persecution (c. 304 AD) places the church’s origins in the earliest Christianization of the eastern Alps through the Aquileia network. The church has been a pilgrimage site since at least the 9th century. Free entry. By car from Klagenfurt, 20 minutes. Summer ferry connections across the Woerthersee.
