A walk along the Drau is relaxing, the color of the water shines turquoise.

The rather simple Paracelsus Courtyard dates from the last quarter of the 19th century; however, the imposing inner courtyard with its columned arcades – which can be reached from the main square via a passage with a barrel vault – dates from the first half of the 16th century. On the southern courtyard wall are portrait medallions of Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim (known as Paracelsus), a physician, natural philosopher, natural mystic, alchemist, lay theologian, and social ethicist who worked in Villach for a long time, and of his father Wilhelm Bombast von Hohenheim.
