Frohnleiten: Riverside Views, History and Leisure

Frohnleiten combines historic buildings and views along the Mur with theater, a market and leisure activities. This makes it easy to plan your stay around a range of interests, from exploring local history to golf or a leisure pool.

The Historic Mur Riverside

Volkshauspark is on the left bank of the Mur and offers a view of the historic riverfront of Frohnleiten’s picturesque old town. If you would like to get to know the town through its riverside views, the park is a good place to start.

Fortifications, Churches and a Garden

The Tabor is Frohnleiten’s oldest fortification and dates back to the 15th century. Its role in protection and defense makes it a tangible point of reference for the town’s history. The monastery church was built later: Jakob Schmerlaib built it between 1679 and 1689 as the Servite Order’s monastery church. The two buildings therefore represent different historical periods.

The monastery garden adds paths for strolling, a Baroque garden pavilion and a carefully restored historic greenhouse to this historic setting. During renovations to St. George’s Church between 1978 and 1985, an older Romanesque crypt was discovered, uncovered and made accessible. The crypt’s two time references should be distinguished: the renovation took place between 1978 and 1985, while the crypt itself is older and Romanesque. If you would like to visit it, check current access options in advance.

Theater, Food and the Market

Frohnleiten has had a theater tradition since 1790; for many years, performances have been held in summer on a stage in the main square. If you would like to plan your trip around a performance, check the current dates and program, as performances may change.

The annual Kulinarium combines musical accompaniment with culinary specialties from Frohnleiten’s innkeepers. Music and food come together here; the date and format may vary. If you plan to attend, check the latest event information.

The Frohnleiten farmers’ market offers tangy cheese, fresh vegetables, fine honey, aromatic fish specialties, award-winning spirits and original handicrafts. As individual vendors and products may change, check the current selection if you are interested in a particular product.

Golf and Leisure Pool

Murhof has an 18-hole championship course, a fully equipped practice facility and a golf school. Its golf offering therefore includes both the course and opportunities to practice and learn.

The leisure pool in Frohnleiten’s sports and leisure park offers opportunities for activity and relaxation, as well as a 12,000 m² sunbathing area. This provides an alternative leisure focus to golf. As opening times may vary seasonally, check the latest hours for your travel dates in advance.

If you are looking for a hotel in Frohnleiten, you can use your travel interests as a starting point: historic sites, cultural events, the market and leisure activities offer different ways to shape your stay.
