 From the Middle Ages on, a bishop resided at Gurk to take care of the Carinthian parts of the archdiocese of Salzburg. A beautiful Cathedral was built at Gurk, a well-known example of the Romanesque style in Austria.
-According to tradition, St. Hemma, the inofficial patron-saint of Carinthia, supervised the building personally. It is said that every labourer received his just wages - even when he tried to grab more than his due out of the money-bag at the accounting table.
