The glass centre illustrates the centuries-old art of glass blowing. The history of the craft can be traced both in the workshop and in the glass museum itself.

St. Barbara’s parish church

 

The parish church was built in the post-war years, but did not attain international recognition until it was remodelled by Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1987. Hundertwasser put all his famous stylistic devices, such as the onion tower and colourful ceramic tiles, into the new design.
