Heiligenblut ("holy blood") is a municipality situated at the northwestern edge of Carinthia. A chapel at Heiligenblut in the Duchy of Carinthia was first mentioned in 1271, containing a relic of the Blood of Christ. According to legend a flask of the Holy Blood, which is kept in a sacrament house, was brought here in 914 from the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople by the Danish knight Briccius. The Gothic pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa was built between 1460-1491. The church also houses a late-Gothic winged altarpiece from 1520, and a crypt and tomb containing Briccius' mortal the remains.
