Freistadt, Medieval market town in Mühlviertel region, Upper Austria
The historic center of Freistadt includes 163 buildings surrounded by fortification walls with seven towers and two main entrance gates.
Founded in 1220, Freistadt developed along trade routes between the Danube and Bohemia, reaching its commercial height from the 14th to 16th centuries.
The Mühlviertler Schlossmuseum, located in a 14th-century castle keep, exhibits an extensive collection of decorated glass art and local artifacts.
