Take a tour of German Town of Traunstein in Traunstein, Germany - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Southeastern Germany is home to the Bavarian town of Traunstein, on the banks of the Traun River.
Traunstein became part of Bavaria in 1275, and was officially listed as a town by the beginning of the 14th century.
Over the centuries, Traunstein has been the victim of intense town-wide fires and bombings during war time.
However, the town has persevered and rebuilt itself to its previous glory each time.
A subcamp of the infamous Dachau concentration camp was located in the town during World War II.
The town is a stronghold of staunch Catholic faith, having been the location where Pope Benedict the 16th received his seminary education.
