History, infrastructure and sights

The Roman Murtalstraße , an important local Roman road with a connection to the Neumarkter Sattel to Carinthia as well as the Sölkpass into the Ennstal ( Via Julia Augusta Virunum - Ovila ) and into the Lungau ( Virunum - Iuvavum ), ran on the right (northern) side of the valley. Parts of the rock walls are well preserved there.

From the 9th century, a Carolingian royal estate was located here in the Mur, Wölzer, Katsch and Rantental areas in what was then Carantanic Styria, which the Archdiocese of Salzburg bequeathed to the Diocese of Freising in 1007 . Castle [ Alt- ] Pux and the cave castles in Puxerloch were built in the middle of the 11th century. Frojach was first mentioned in a document as Froiach in the middle of the 12th century , the manuscript was written in the St. Lambrecht Abbey and is kept in the Graz University Library. It was a manorial estate that was located in the Ober- / Unterdorf area. There was - closer to the Mur - the first church that is named as a parish in a document issued in Leibnitz in 1215.

Today's parish church of St. Andreas is an originally Protestant church, built between 1527 and 1555, “in the shadow” further away from the Mur, around which today's village Frojach (Oberdorf) was formed as a hamlet . The old Catholic parish church was torn away by a flood in 1711, and the Protestant church, which had already been abandoned at the time of the Counter Reformation around 1600, was adapted. Today it is mainly neo-Gothic from the renovation in 1899. The rectory from the middle of the 17th century is also a listed building. The Maria Dorn branch church with churchyard in Sarau (1680) is also worth seeing.

With the creation of the local parishes after 1848/49 Frojach became an independent parish . The Murtalbahn is a narrow-gauge railway that was built in the 1890s. It is operated as a museum railway, the railway station Frojach-Katschtal is also a listed building.
