The last evidence of the medieval fortification is the Upper Tower, built in 1541, also called the Bread House Tower because bread was once sold in the vault below the tower. Bakers used to have to sell their products at a fixed price in a central location in the city. This happened in the vault of the town hall until the city fire of 1851 and then in the upper tower for a few years. Local research at the end of the 19th century therefore called it the “Bread House Tower”. The neighboring Zieglerwirtshaus shows the features of Inn-Salzach architecture that were typical of Traunstein until 1851: arcades, bay windows and raised fire walls.
“City and country, hand in hand, a Gau’s hometown”: This inscription on the west side of the tower strikingly refers to the hometown housed in both buildings, which houses a town and toy museum. It shows exhibits on civic culture, sacred art and the history of the saltworks; An impressively detailed model reproduces the old Traunstein in 1890. Historical toys from 1870 to 1960 are also presented in the museum.
Changing special exhibitions round off the offering. You can find the opening times and website in the information box below.

The Traunstein local museum is housed in the bread tower. The exhibited is not outstanding, but it does not cost admission
