Cultural history in Poggersdorf, Wabelsdorf and St. Michael ob der Gurk

The cultural history sites are spread across Poggersdorf, Wabelsdorf and St. Michael ob der Gurk. They cover a range of subjects: a reconstructed sanctuary with an archaeological find, churches with medieval architectural history and traces of Roman inscriptions, and a pagoda with an exact year of construction. If you would like to focus on history, you can choose between the story of a find, church architecture and a cultural site with a clearly documented date.

The Keltenbrunnen Wabelsdorf in the market municipality of Poggersdorf is a faithful reconstruction of a Celtic-Roman temple sanctuary. The site was excavated in Wabelsdorf in 1930, when a votive altar dedicated to Genius Cucullatus was discovered. The reconstruction and the history of the find are two distinct aspects: one describes the sanctuary, while the other concerns a specific archaeological find. If you are interested in ancient places of worship, you can consider these two subjects separately rather than treating them as one and the same.

The parish church of Poggersdorf also brings together different historical points of reference. It was built in the 12th century or, at the latest, in the 13th century, and contains remnants of Roman funerary inscriptions. Its construction date places the church in the Middle Ages, while the inscription fragments add a Roman connection. This means the focus is not only on the age of the church building, but also on the traces associated with it. The recorded dating leaves both possibilities open: the 12th century or, at the latest, the 13th century.

The Pagode des Dhamma-Lichtes in St. Michael ob der Gurk was built in 1992. Its exact year of construction provides a more recent point of reference than the medieval churches and the Celtic-Roman sanctuary. This offers a clear basis for comparing the sites by period: the pagoda is a distinct cultural site with a specified year of construction, while the other sites are notable for their architectural history and archaeological traces.

The Church of St. George in Wabelsdorf dates back at least to the 13th century in its core structure. It is also important for planning your visit that the church is usually locked. If you are considering a visit, check in advance whether access is possible, and do not assume that you will be able to go inside. This way, both the church’s historical context and its actual access conditions remain part of your plans.
