Craft and Art Market at the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche: Quality Instead of Quantity
On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche in Traunstein transforms into a meeting point for crafts, art, and regional diversity. Under the guiding motto Not Quantity, but Quality, selected exhibitors present high-quality works and fine unique items – a market visit with a sensory market atmosphere and a true shopping experience.
Market Character: Curated, Regionally Rooted
The Craft and Art Market is organized by the city marketing of Traunstein and focuses on quality, short distances, and personal encounters with the creators. The monument-protected ensemble of the former monastery provides the perfect setting: modernized, barrier-free, and centrally located.
Products: Craftsmanship and Fine Unique Items
Visitors discover lovingly crafted products from workshops and studios: wood and ceramic works, glass and textile art, paper and leather crafts, as well as small culinary specialties from direct marketing. Seasonal goods and individual pieces make browsing worthwhile – ideal for special gifts and high-quality everyday companions.
Shopping Experience: Scents, Colors, Live Craftsmanship
Between workbenches and exhibition tables, the scent of wood oil and leather fills the air; glazes shimmer and natural woods are on display. Many producers provide insights into techniques and material knowledge – technical vocabulary like turning, glass fusing, or hand stitching becomes tangible. Thus, expertise is developed firsthand.
Service, Access, and Accessibility
The Cultural Forum is just a few minutes' walk from Traunstein train station. Nearby, there are underground garages at the Town Hall and train station, as well as parking spaces at Karl-Theodor-Platz. The venue has an elevator, reservable spaces for wheelchair users, and an accessible toilet. Admission usually opens one hour before the event starts.
Practical Information
Admission is free. Opening hours: 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Payment options vary depending on the booth; small amounts in cash are recommended.
Conclusion
Those who appreciate regional craftsmanship will find quality instead of quantity here: carefully selected providers, high-quality materials, and personal advice. A visit is worthwhile for all who shop consciously, see quality, and want to support the local economy in Chiemgau.
