Spittal an der Drau Essentials

Spittal an der Drau features the 16th-century Schloss Porcia, one of Austria's most significant Renaissance palaces, and the nearby Millstätter See, the second-largest lake in Carinthia. The area preserves deep historical roots at Millstatt Abbey, founded around 1070, and its associated cloister museum. Natural landmarks include the protected Egelsee mire lake and the Drau River valley views from the DrAUENland platform. Cultural sites such as the Romanesque-Gothic Sankt Wolfgang church and the archaeological heritage at Molzbichl provide insight into the region's medieval history.
