St. Andrä
If you have time, visit the Church of St. Andrew, with its outstanding collection of 16th-century tombstones carved of marble quarried outside Salzburg. The last Gorz count is buried here. The church, consecrated in 1457, was restored in 1968. During the restoration, workmen uncovered murals, some dating from the 14th century. The church is the finest example of Gothic architecture in East Tyrol. A memorial chapel honors the Lienz war dead. The renowned painter Egger-Lienz is entombed here.
