Gurk Cathedral is a Romanesque pillar basilica in Gurk, Carinthia, Austria, built from 1140 to 1200. It is the former cathedral and current co-cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Gurk and is counted among the most important Romanesque buildings in Austria. Its consecration in 1174 coincided with the relocation of the grave of Saint Hemma of Gurk there from the former Gurk Abbey. The cathedral holds tentative World Heritage Site status.
