History
Protective wall.
The "Feldbach Tabor" was built as a fortification in the second half of the 15th century around the church of the southeast Styrian town of Feldbach. The wall featured battlements and embrasures, and on the inner side of the wall, eleven small, two- to three-storey so-called "Gaden" or "Tabor cottages" were built. These had vaulted cellars, living rooms, storage areas and a stable. During the great Feldbach witch trial (1673-1675), the Tabor served as a prison for those accused of witchcraft. After it lost its defensive function in the 18th century, the Tabor was used for peaceful purposes. Its cottages were used as schoolrooms and storage rooms and as vegetable and ice cellars.
Museum in the Tabor
As it used to be.
On May 18, 1952, a museum was opened in the Tabor, which has been maintained since 1985 by the Southeast Styrian Association for Local History in cooperation with the municipality of Feldbach. In the following decades, the museum was continually expanded. Today it encompasses almost the entire structure and houses in more than 40 rooms various departments that allow visitors large and small to discover life in the past.
