Keutschach am See Austria

Keutschach am See is a municipality in the district of Klagenfurt-Land in the Austrian state of Carinthia. Chodesach in the Duchy of Carinthia was first mentioned in an 1150 deed. The estates were the ancestral seat of the Keutschach noble family, documented since 1299, whose most noted scion was Leonhard von Keutschach (c.1442–1519), Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1495 until his death. In the early 16th century, the dynasty had a Renaissance castle erected, which later was replaced by a nearby Baroque building, called the "New Castle" (Neues Schloss), finished in 1679 and rebuilt under the Orsini-Rosenberg noble family in the 18th century. For centuries, agriculture was the most practised economic system until summer tourism became more and more important during the 20th century. Nowadays tourism is the biggest source of income in this town.
