Sankt Paul im Lavanttal

The Lavant River defines the setting of Sankt Paul im Lavanttal — its valley floor and the wooded hills of eastern Carinthia have long focused settlement, farming and travel along this north–south corridor. Above the town stands St Paul’s Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 1091 and one of Austria’s significant monastic institutions. Its Romanesque basilica and extensive library give the small market town an identity far beyond its size. The wider Lavanttal is marked by orchards, fields and dispersed hamlets on the slopes.
