Holiday apartments called the Oswalderhof with a painting of a saint king holding a sceptre and an orb with a Raven holding a ring in its beak perched on the orb.

View of St Oswald’s church on a hillside with the Wörthersee in the background
2nd St Oswald of the day and another stunning landscape setting.
Situated on a hillock overlooking the Wörthersee, the current church dates from C15th.
Oswald’s raven was again prominent on the altarpiece. #OswaldHunting

Map showing the alps between Verona and Klagenfurt, with pins showing churches and chapels dedicated to Oswald of Northumbria in the area
Team Oswald's Raven is shortly to depart on a research trip. How many churches dedicated to Oswald of Northumbria can we visit in Austria and Italy in 10 days? Stay tuned for beautiful alpine scenery and baroque altarpieces depicting Oswald with his raven, as we travel from Klagenfurt to Verona!
