Metnitz is a market town situated in the picturesque Metnitz Valley in Carinthia, Austria. The municipality, which includes several cadastral communities, is known for its well-preserved medieval heritage and cultural traditions.

The town's history dates back to the Middle Ages, and it gained market rights in the 14th century. Metnitz is particularly notable for its Dance of Death frescoes (Metnitzer Totentanz) from around 1500, located in the charnel house near the parish church of St. Leonhard. These rare medieval paintings represent an important cultural monument depicting the medieval concept of death as the great equalizer. The town also maintains strong folkloric traditions and is home to several historical buildings that reflect its long-standing cultural heritage.
