Already in the Middle Ages the town was known for its bridge over the Vöckla. But also Celts and Romans settled here. Today the old town with its partly car-free main square, the cosy pubs and the small alleys invites you to stay and stroll.

Heimathaus Vöcklabruck

The "Heimathaus" is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It was built in 1450 as a community centre. Today it is a museum. In front of the house, left around the corner from the entrance there is a Roman milestone (touch it with the mouse to enlarge).
