Raab River and Area Attractions

Feldbach is situated on the Raab river, 38km southeast of Graz. The town's main attractions are a sewing and tailoring museum, and a palace.

The castle was built to fend off attackers as early as the 13th century. It was rebuilt during the 16th and 17th centuries and still features a Renaissance court. Although it is usually open to the public as a museum, it is also often used to house special exhibitions, especially around occasions such as Christmas and Easter. A different annual exhibition runs from March to October.

The sewing and tailoring museum in Feldbach has information on the art of the seamstress and the tailor.

The town of Fürstenfeld is close to the Burgenland border. It contains one of the many tobacco museums in Austria.

Grafenegg Palace, in Hatzendorf, is a breathtaking white structure with a grand tower, surrounded by magnificent gardens.

The palace includes a riding school, a library and museum. The state rooms are often opened up for orchestral concerts, piano recitals, literary readings and even antique fairs.

The town of Mureck, on the border of Yugoslavia, has a blacksmithing museum.
