As early as 1233, the malgrei of Faray in the district of Gufidaun is mentioned in a written document. At that time, there is no evidence yet of a healing spring or bath, but a legend tells that Saint Theobald spent some time here as a hermit and was healed of an affliction by the curative waters.
Although Theobald (†1066) likely never set foot in Tyrol, the foundation legend makes him the patron saint of Bad Froy, and the chapel built there is dedicated to him.
The first mention of a padmaister (bath master) in Frayen dates to 1547. An illustration of the site from 1654, preserved in the old chapel, shows a bathhouse to the left of the stream, near the iron-rich spring, and a chapel on the right side of the Froy stream.
The growing number of visitors—by the mid-19th century, around five hundred annually—led to the expansion of the bathhouse, which eventually extended across the stream.

“Castle Gate,” City Wall, and Cemetery. New Documentary Evidence on Klausen around 1300"
Charters are among the most essential written sources from the Middle Ages. These are typically documents written on parchment or paper, authenticated by witnesses, seals, and/or notaries, and concerning legal matters.
Beyond the legal act itself, they can also record facts that are of broader historical significance.
The focus of this lecture will be a little-known charter from the year 1304. It contains what are currently the earliest known references to the city wall enclosing the core of Klausen and to the cemetery near St. Andrew’s Church. It also includes the first written mentions of mills and a public bathhouse in the southern suburb. Finally, it provides the oldest known written record of the so-called "Castle Gate," the earlier name of the Brixen Gate.
These references to key urban elements show that Klausen should not be considered a city only from the time of its first explicit mention as such (in 1308). Rather, the process of becoming a city was a gradual development that had already begun earlier.
