The St. Nicholas Church in Aurachkirchen, also called "Roman Church", is one of the best preserved Romanesque village churches in Austria. In its original form, it probably originated around 1140. Especially valuable is their interior design. The so-called "Merovingian bell" is one of the oldest in the German-speaking world.

The two Ort castles, the lake castle on a natural island in the Traunsee offshore from the town of Gmunden and the country castle situated on a headland projecting out of the lake, were built at different times. The older water castle on the island was first authenticated in 1138 with the owner Hartnid.
The lake castle has an exceptionally picturesque courtyard with pergolas, a late Gothic external staircase and offers multiple panoramic views of the Traunsee and the surrounding mountains.

The most beautiful spots of the Traunsee region offer the unique setting for the festival events.
The main venue and vibrant centre during the festival summer is the town theatre Stadttheater Gmunden, which was built in the late 19th century by the theatre director Joseph M. Kotzky, from Salzburg, at his own expense.
The opening performance was the operetta Die schöne Galathée by Franz von Suppé and the farce Umsonst or Der Herr Vetter aus Regensburg by Johann Nestroy and took place on the 22nd of June 1872.

The times when timber was produced in the old sawmill Rumplmayr in Neukirchen have long since been left behind. However, instead of transferring the building into a new use after the decommissioning, it was decided to maintain the site in its original state.
Thus, today, it has been conserved as a magical place in the memory of the early industrial work: in the large sawmill with the solid wooden beams, the old machines stand as if they had just been stopped, the tools still sorted in the cellar.....

For over fifteen years, Thomas Bernhard has renovated the square-shaped farmhouse in Ohlsdorf/Obernathal that he took on in 1965 with great diligence. This way he could turn it into a property that depicted the life and development of its former inhabitant. Thomas Bernhard’s literary work was and is closely affiliated with this residence. Bernhard’s construction and renovation works, the landscape of the Traunviertel and its people were included especially into the early prose. The Bernhard-house with its unchanged, characteristic establishment is the central Thomas-Bernhard-memorial and open to the public since 1990.

HISTORY OF THE MONASTERY AND THE CHURCH
A Benedictine nunnery was founded at Traunkirchen in about 1020. In 1327 nunnery and church burned down. After the nunnery was shut in 1571 the Benedictines of Kremsmünster took command.
In 1622 Emperor Ferdinand 2nd, by papal consent, conveyed the monastery to the Jesuits of Passau. Thus the monastery of Traunkirchen became resident of the Jesuits.
In 1632 another Eire destroyed monastery and church. The Jesuits built it up again and the church got its still admired Baroque interior. Since then the famous Corpus Christi procession has been held on the lake.
The baptismal font, two holy-water fonts by the main entrance (dated 1518) and St. Michael's chapel with the pretty little tower on the churchyard side still remain tram the former nunnery.
After the suppression of the order of the Jesuits in 1773 the monastery, the church and the forest became government property. Since then secular priests have been caring for the parish of Traunkirchen.

The present parish area of Altmünster was settled already at the time of the Romans. In the 8th century, a monastic monastery was built on the site where today the parish church Altmünster stands. The Romanesque church was renovated in 1473 in the Gothic style. In the years 1625-1627 Count Herberstorf renewed and enlarged the sanctuary of this Gothic church in the Renaissance style.
