Warm appreciation was expressed to the kitchen and service brigades. It was not only the special atmosphere and the beautiful lake resort which made this Chapitre a remarkable event but also the practiced fraternity, art of the kitchen and table reflecting the noble values of our Confrérie!

The Chapitre of Carinthia was a successful revival of the Bailliage Provincial of Carinthia and everyone is already looking forward to the next event.
