Maria Wörth: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Maria Wörth is a picturesque municipality located on a small peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Wörth (Wörthersee) in Carinthia, Austria. The town is known for its distinctive architectural heritage, particularly its two medieval churches: the Roman Catholic pilgrimage church of Maria Wörth and the Winter Church, both situated on a hill overlooking the lake.

Dating back to the 9th century, these churches reflect the historical significance of Maria Wörth as a religious and cultural center. The town's location on Lake Wörth, the largest lake in Carinthia, has made it a notable destination for both cultural tourism and recreational activities. The surrounding region features typical Carinthian architecture and landscapes, characterized by the meeting of Alpine and Mediterranean influences.
