The historical experimentThe medieval construction site, located in the southern part of Friesach (the oldest city of Carinthia) which spans over 6.5 hectares, presents a great historical experiment to its visitors. A medieval castle is being erected – with medieval methods and without modern tools. No motors or electricity are used, only human effort with the aid of animals. The highest possible authenticity is the main aim of this construction site. Additionally, only natural materials like wood, stone, lime, sand, and water are being used.Opening hours:Individual visitors are asked to take guided tours availabledaily at 9:30 am, 11:00 am, 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.

...not too exciting. No enthusiasm of anybody. They still would have many years to go - but I am sure noone will pay the bill that long.

Reviewed By GlisGlis - Breitenstein, Austria
Im April 2015 wurde dieses kleine aber sehr feine Museum in den Räumen des alten Getreidespeichers in Friesach, der seit der Landesausstellung keine besondere Verwendung mehr hatte, eröffnet. Die Betreiber, Familie Marx aus dem Wachstuben-Café nebenan, sind in Friesach und in der Mittelalterszene keine Unbekannten. Alexander, der Blutrichter zu Friesach und Isabella, die Meisterin, haben hier unzählige Exponate zusammengetragen, die sich rund um das Thema Imkerei und Lebzelterei sowie das selten gewordene Handwerk der Wachszieherei und der Produktion von Wachsstöcken drehen. Bei einer Führung erlebt der Besucher wie Kerzen gezogen werden, ein Wachsstock wird produziert und es gibt Kostproben vom Lebkuchen. Anschließend kann man sich im Café nebenan entweder mit Kärntner Kasnudeln oder speziellen Eiskreationen (Honigbecher) verwöhnen lassen.
Fixe Führungen gibt es zwischen April und Oktober von Mittwoch bis Samstag jeweils um 9:00, 10:30, 14:00 und 15:30 Uhr, am Sonn- und Feiertag um 10:30, 14:00 und 15:30 Uhr sowie nach Vereinbarung. Dauer der Führung ca. 90 min, Preis € 7,50 Erwachsene, Kinder bis 15 Jahre €4,50, Teens 16-18 Jahre € 5,-.
Busse und Gruppen sind gegen Voranmeldung herzlich jederzeit und ganzjährig willkommen.

Originally built in the 12th Century as a Romanesque church, St. Bartholomaus has suffered repeated fires and has been repaired and renovated several times. It is beautifully situated on the town square and at the foot of the path to the castle ruin above.
Should you be nearby, the town is a must to see. St. Bartholomaus is part of this lovely town and contributes to the town's beauty.
