Castle Friedhofen

Around 100 historical tools from salt mining, collected and preserved by the saltworks director, Hofrat Dr. Winfried Aubell, form the main part of the modern collection. Interesting historical tools from the former coal mine Tollinggraben, which come from the private collection of the Bauer family, a selection of surveying instruments from the 16th to the 20th century (on loan from the Montanuniversität Leoben) along with pit lamps from all over the world complete the exhibition.

The permanent mining history exhibition in St. Peter-Freienstein includes:

• Bauer's blacksmith collection from Tollinggraben
• Salt tools from Winfried Aubell
• Surveying instruments from Montanuniversität Leoben
• Pit lamps from around the world, collection from Wallthor

Castle Friedhofen also offers a varied cultural program (theater and concerts).

You are very welcome to celebrate your wedding or birthday at the castle as well. The stately building provides a wonderful setting for the most beautiful day of your life.
