Main Square, Villach

Highlight • Settlement

Since the middle of the 12th century, the main square has been the city's lifeline; Fairs and markets were held here. The Second World War left visible traces, as a number of post-war buildings close the gaps left by the bombs between the historic facades. In 1988 the decision was made to declare the square a pedestrian zone.

Drau Bridge, Villach

Highlight • Bridge

The first documented mention of a “Pons Uillah” dates back to 878 - which means Villach can claim the title of the oldest bridge in Carinthia! The bridge toll, which was collected by the State Princely Toll Station based in Hauptplatz No. 1, brought the city good income until 1903.

A walk along the Drau is relaxing, the color of the water shines turquoise.

Old Parkhotel Villach

Highlight • Historical Site

The Parkhotel was built between 1909 and 1911 by L. Fiedler. The monumental, five-story building, built on a rectangular floor plan, is characterized by historicizing and secessionist forms. The north facade, structured by the nine-axis central projection and extended side wings, is accentuated by an atlantean-like porch with a double column position and side access ramps. The south facade has the character of a spa hotel due to the loggias that extend across all axes and floors, some of which are equipped with wrought iron or stone parapets. In the park-like area to the south there is a fountain with a fountain figure. The former hotel building was repaired after a fire in 1998.
