Completely unexpectedly, you'll find this relief with a rather unusual motif in the hilly little town of Frose. And anyway, the utterly rustic Frose, with its largely dilapidated charm, offers numerous discoveries and fantastic, rare photo opportunities! Even a short walk offers a maximum of aesthetic experiences. Unusual buildings and details are quickly found, most notably the Romanesque collegiate church and the former water tower.

The town hall was inaugurated in 1897. It is considered "unfinished" because it could not be built as planned with two wings, with an entrance and tower in the center. The owner of the house to the right of the town hall did not want to sell his house at the time.
