Ossiach

Built around a Benedictine abbey, Ossiach grew into a lakeside community on the southern shore of Lake Ossiach in Carinthia. The former Ossiach Abbey, established in 1024, remains the settlement’s defining historic complex, with its church standing close to the water. Across the lake, the slopes of Gerlitzen Alpe shape the local horizon, while the shore is used for swimming, sailing and cycling in warmer months. Ossiach also hosts performances of the Carinthian Summer music festival, bringing an active cultural programme to the abbey setting.
