Freistadt Sights

  1. Brewery Tours

    Freistadt is a Braucommune, a town where the citizens actually own their brewery - buy a house and you automatically buy a share of your favourite tipple. Practically every bar in town serves the local brew, so it's not hard to see why the brewery remains a profitable business. If you'd like to learn more about Freistadt beer, there are Brewery Tours; three small beers are thrown in with the price of the tour. Call ahead if you'd like to take a tour.

  2. Schlossmuseum

    Just beyond the Hauptplatz is the city's 14th-century Schloss, with a square tower topped by a tapering red-tiled roof. Inside is the Schlossmuseum, exhibiting 600 works of engraved painted glass. Climb the 50m Bergfried tower for far-reaching views over Freistadt.
