Karner "Michelele"

Berg im Drautal, Carinthia

The charnel house stands northeast next to the church and is dedicated to Saint Michael. The two-story Romanesque building with a semicircular apse in the east has buttress-like wall reinforcements. The ossuary is located on the ground floor, and the chapel, equipped with a six-part band rib vault, is on the upper floor. The frescoes show strong South Tyrolean influence and are dated 1428. The Annunciation scene is painted in the eastern vault cap, and Christ as Judge of the World in the western one. In the remaining vault caps, the twelve apostles are depicted in groups of three, with angels holding the instruments of the Passion above them. The keystone features a Lamb of God. On the south wall, below the Apostle Matthias, the Archangel Michael can be seen. The mural on the outer wall shows Christ on the Mount of Olives.Tip: To the left of the door inside, there is a lamp; be sure to switch it on and enjoy the frescoes in their full splendor of colors!
