Culture and sights

Möderndorf Castle with Gailtal Museum of Local History
Lerchenhof Castle in Untermöschach was built between 1848 and 1851 as the residence of Baron Julius von Wodley. The building, which has been a listed building since 1939 and is now used as a hotel-guesthouse, is considered a prime example of late Classicist-Biedermeier architecture in Carinthia.
The Malenthein castle ruins are located on the southeastern slope of the Guggenberg near Kühweg. The oldest documented mention of a tower in Bamberg possession dates back to 1311, a further extension is documented for 1317. 

Castle ruins of Feste Khünburg. Within sight of Hermagor in an easterly direction, on a receding hilltop of the southeasterly sloping flank of the Egelgruppe, lies a mighty tower, the keep of the old fortress Khünburg.  

Filial church Schlanitzen. The Filial Church "St. Leonhard", a medium-sized, late Gothic building, stands south of Tröpolach, on a 116 m higher, abruptly descending wooded hilltop (Pleik).
