Pure art and culture
Visit sights in and around Frankenberg, such as the “Liebfrauenkirche” (Church of Our Lady) or picturesque parks, castles, and medieval fortresses.
The museums and art collections are also home to extraordinary treasures. Thonet Museum exhibits design classics and furniture rarities.
Theatre, music and art represent opulent sources of inspiration. Local theatre, the “Kultursommer” summer cultural festival in Northern Hessen, the “Literarische Frühling” literary spring fair and the world exhibition of contemporary art, and the Documenta in Kassel all allow for the flourishing cultural diversity in the region.
