Klimt square Unterach

Klimt and the magic of Lake Attersee

There are only a few Austrian artists who have a similarly high status in the international art scene as the Viennese Art Nouveau painter Gustav Klimt. And there are only a few regions in Austria that have such a direct connection to this outstanding symbolist as the vacation region of Attersee-Attergau in the Salzkammergut.

Gustav Klimt spent the summers between 1910 and 1916 at Lake Attersee. The largest of the Salzkammergut lakes inspired the Art Nouveau painter to his most famous landscape paintings.
