Archaeology Museum Fliess

The Archaeological Museum in Fließ sits in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps, split between the old vicarage and a modern building in the village centre. The vicarage, first recorded in 1360, still carries the date 1713 on its roof and a grand staircase leads up to its former living quarters. Bright fresco medallions on the façade from the late 1700s depict Saint Joseph, the Virgin of Mercy and Saint Anthony. Inside the vicarage the displays focus on finds from the Bronze Age Gachen Blick sacrificial site and a hoard of bronze objects recovered from Moosbruckschrofen. Next door, the new wing traces the route of the ancient Roman road Via Claudia Augusta. Guided walks also run out to the sacrificial site itself. Visitors walk through rooms that mix medieval beams with modern glass cases. The frescoes remain on the outer walls, while inside the bronze weapons and tools lie alongside pottery fragments from the fire pits. Outside, the mountain air sharpens the view across the valley to where the Romans once marched.
