Treze Tílias offers several ways to explore its history: At the Museu Municipal Andreas Thaler, you can discover collection pieces and historic rooms, while local sculpture is linked to a specific story from 1933. There are also walking paths and opportunities to spot animals at Parque Lindendorf, as well as the distinctive features of Parque Municipal. Plan your stay around culture, open space or a specific event date.
Cultural History and Sculpture
At the Castelinho, the Museu Municipal Andreas Thaler displays objects from the colonial period, works of art and tools. The rooms also illustrate life in the 1930s. Here, you can encounter both collection objects and a glimpse of living conditions at the time. These varied elements give the museum its focus on cultural history.
Sculpture in Treze Tílias dates back to 1933. At the time, colony founder Andreas Thaler commissioned his brother Georg Thaler to carve a Nativity scene for the first Christmas Mass in the new colony. The commission, the work and the occasion link the tradition to a specific historical event. Unlike the museum, which displays collection pieces and rooms, this story focuses on the origins of sculpture.
Parks with Different Highlights
At Parque Lindendorf, you can stroll along paths across its 45,000 m² grounds. The animals you might see there include capybaras, sheep and an ostrich. The park combines walking paths with the opportunity to observe animals. Check current access options before your visit.
Parque Municipal stands out for its landscaped grounds: Its lake has an island shaped like Austria, representing Austria’s nine federal states. The park also features a wooden-carved Stations of the Cross, an outdoor fitness area and a monument commemorating the turn of the millennium and 2,000 years of Jesus Christ. Check current access and holiday arrangements before your visit.
The difference between the two parks is clear: At Parque Lindendorf, walking paths and opportunities to spot animals take center stage; at Parque Municipal, the lake island, Stations of the Cross and commemorative monument shape the visit.
Events and Local Character
Banda dos Tiroleses performs at events in Treze Tílias, including Tirolerfest, the Christmas celebrations, Expotílias and Semana da Escultura. The dates of individual events vary. If a performance is a deciding factor for your trip, plan around the specific event date.
Alongside art, history and parks, Cervejaria Bierbaum is another distinctive local attraction: It produces craft beer in Treze Tílias. Local beer production is another facet of the town.
At the entrance to the town along SC-355, a monument welcomes arrivals and offers a view of the city.
Planning Your Stay and Hotels
If you’re looking for hotels in Treze Tílias, start with the purpose of your trip: cultural history, visits to the parks or an event date each offer a different focus.
