Feldbach between city history and the Raab
Accommodation in Feldbach
Feldbach brings together city history and culture with walks and experiences along the Raab. During your stay, you can choose between a visit to the Museum im Tabor, notable buildings, and routes on foot or by bike. Its varied attractions make Feldbach a destination you can explore according to your own interests.
City history and culture in Feldbach
The Museum im Tabor was built in 1469 as a fortified refuge for the local population. Today, its 41 rooms and 12 exhibitions showcase life in southeastern Styria, from the Stone Age to the recent past. This broad historical span provides a wide-ranging context for your visit: you can learn about different eras and aspects of regional life in one place. The museum offers private guided tours and educational programs for all age groups.
Another notable landmark is Feldbach Parish Church. Its present form was created between 1898 and 1900. The church tower is 72 metres high, including its steel crown; its colourfully designed surface features more than 2,000 coloured panels. The parish church’s exhibition room is on the upper floor. It displays ecclesiastical objects, vestments and various devotional images. This means architecture, colourful design and religious objects come together in the same building.
The Feldbach Art Hall is also part of the city’s cultural history: it was established in 1999. The stations of the Ten Commandments Trail are located on the north side of the parish church and the Memorial Church in Feldbach. These are further cultural points of interest at named locations in the city.
