The city Klagenfurt was first mentioned in a written from 1193 to 1199 Scripture of the monastery of St. Paul. There is an impressive charm over this city, which was often affected by war and fire damage in its eventful past. Turks and Hungarian invasions took place in 1476. The city was hit by conflagrations in 1514, 1535, 1663 and 1725. In 1690 an earthquake shook the heavily tested city. The French invaded in 1797 and 1805/06, and in 1809 Napoleon ordered the fortifications to be demolished. The most famous landmark of Klagenfurt is the legendary "Lindwurmbrunnen" from the year 1605. In addition to this old landmark, the country house in Klagenfurt, which also adorns the present brand, the representative secular building of the provincial capital of Carinthia. Carinthia's most beautiful Renaissance building was the seat of the state estates (high clergy, aristocracy and knighthood). It was begun by master builder Johann Antonio Verda from Lugano and handed over to the state states by his successor in 1590.
