Small attractions & a lot of tranquillity
One of the peculiarities of St. Pankraz, for instance, is the "Häusl am Stoan". In 1882, the house was spared by the floods of Falschauer river as it was built on a big rock that could not be washed away by the water in comparison with the surrounding grounds. No need to worry, today the stream is no more dangerous, rather it is a very romantic place where to have a picnic with the whole family or a romantic walk.
Other sights of St. Pankraza are St. Helena chapel, St. Sebastian chapel and the parish church with its 56 m high church tower. The church clock on the bell tower is richly painted. The church’s portals are carved with figures of saints. Another landmark of St. Pankraz is Eschenlohe Castle.
