Culture in the wider destination of Roding

The wider destination of Roding has its own cultural and historical attractions. St. Joseph’s Chapel originally served as the baptistery of Roding’s original church, which dates from the 7th or 8th century. Its upper floor, added later, contains 13th- and 14th-century frescoes in the Romanesque and Gothic fresco-secco techniques. St. Anne’s Chapel is built onto the old cemetery wall and replaced an earlier building around 1650. The Roding Dance of Death fresco is also located on the cemetery wall and was probably created around the middle of the 17th century based on an older model.

The Fire Brigade Museum and the Fronfeste Cultural Centre add further cultural highlights in Roding. The museum displays more than 250 historical firefighting appliances, uniforms and documents across two floors. Fronfeste hosts changing exhibitions, theatre, films and cabaret; check the relevant dates for specific events. The Roding Tourist Information Office provides flyers on leisure activities, hiking and cycling maps, and an up-to-date town map. If you would like to use these guides, check their availability in advance.
