Here in the public park on Linz's Freinberg there has been a stupa since 2013, an ancient archetypal symbol for the fully realized or "awakened" spirit, completed by the Friends of Diamond Way Buddhism Linz.

"The intention of the builders is to increase peace, happiness, freedom and harmony for all living beings who come in contact with or see the stupa."

Highlight • Viewpoint

A good vantage point near the Josefswarte, from which you can look up and down the Danube! Opposite you can see the Pöstlingberg, the symbol of Linz (Pöstlingbergbahn from the main square) with its pilgrimage church. There are beautiful walks in the area.

Probeturm and Maximilianskapelle

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1828, Archduke Maximilian I had the so-called test tower built on the Freinberg – blasting tests and test bombardments were carried out here. After the completion of the final tower line at a greater distance from Linz, the test tower was no longer needed. Maximilian had two floors added and the Maximilian Chapel built next to it. In 1837 he gave the tower and chapel to the Jesuits. Today the tower is part of the Kollegium Aloisianum, a Catholic private school.

Opposite the street you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city center.
