Fodor's Expert Review St. Egyd
Klagenfurt
North of Neuer Platz (go along Kramergasse for two blocks, then angle left to the Pfarrplatz) is the parish church of St. Egyd, with its eye-catching totem-pole bronze carving by Austrian avant-garde artist Ernst Fuchs in the second chapel on the right. In the next chapel is the crypt of Julian Green (1900–1998), the noted French-born American novelist whose works include The Closed Garden and The Other One. He perceived the city as a sanctuary of peace in the world and decided he wanted to be buried here.
