Feldkirchen Attractions

Feldkirchen (556m/1,824ft; pop. 12,000) is a lively little town with many old houses and streets which retain something of a medieval aspect. Particularly fine are the houses in the "Old Quarter" (Altes Viertel) and the Biedermeier facades (1815-48) in the Hauptplatz. The parish church of the Assumption is Romanesque with a fine 14th C. Gothic choir; note also the 13th C. frescos and the Late Gothic winged altar and crucifix (both early 16th C.). On the surrounding heights stand a number of forts and castles, and near the town are several small lakes (Flatschacher Teich, Urbansee, Maltschacher See).
