The Vorderbad at Faerbergasse 13 in Braunau am Inn is a medieval public bathhouse preserved from 1504, one of the best-surviving examples in Austria of the civic bathing institutions that served every European town before domestic plumbing. The museum explains what public bathing meant in the medieval period: social space, treatment center, and professional trade. Braunau’s complete medieval town square and Stadtturm make this a natural add-on to a visit to one of Upper Austria’s most intact historic town centers. Check local tourism for current hours.
