Beyond Frauenfeld Castle, key historical buildings include the Rathaus (town hall), the Baliere on Kreuzplatz, and the Bernerhaus on Bankplatz.

Frauenfeld is known for its vibrant street art. The best way to experience it is by taking a leisurely walk through the Altstadt and beyond, as artists from around the world transform the city into an open-air gallery. Guided tours are often available, providing insights into the murals and the artists behind them. Check local tourism information for current exhibitions or tour schedules.
The devastating fires in 1771 and 1788 played a crucial role in shaping the Altstadt's current appearance. These events destroyed much of the old wooden buildings, leading to a significant reconstruction effort in the 18th century. As a result, many of the well-preserved 18th-century embassy houses and other structures you see today are a direct legacy of this rebuilding period, contributing to the town's protected architectural status.
