Art and culture on Lake Wörthersee

Lake Wörthersee has always been a symbol and scenery for artists such as composers, writers or painters. Especially on bad weather days, the art and culture around Lake Wörthersee can be discovered in small but fine museums.

 

SEEkunst on Lake Wörthersee

Pörtschach has always been more than just a place on the lake - it has been a stage, a retreat and a source of inspiration.

With SEEKUNST PÖRTSCHACH, we are opening a new chapter:
A multi-year cultural project with a clear vision.

We combine tradition and innovation, nature and art, guests and locals - in our own way.

Mit der Marmorskulptur des Mölltaler Bildhauers Heinrich Untergantschnig erobert die Kunst auch den öffentlichen Raum in Velden. Die aus Krastaler Marmor geschaffene Skulptur „Das große soziale Gefüge“ ist in den Maßen dem menschlichen Körper im Verhältnis gleichgestellt ist. Die Skulptur lässt mit den verschiedenen Formen ein Gefüge entstehen, wie es auch in der Gesellschaft mit ihrer Vielfalt zu finden ist. Das Fehlen jeder einzelnen Form würde wie auch das Fehlen eines Menschen in der Gesellschaft einen Verlust bedeuten.
