Local Heritage Museum Oberwölz

Oberwölz-Lachtal

Heimatmuseum Oberwölz - on the trail of bygone times

The city museum is located in the medieval Schötteltor complex of the Kulturhaus on an area of around 250 m².
It brings to life the history of what was once the property of the Bishopric of Freising with Rothenfels Castle.

A tour of the local history museum gives visitors impressions of the life and work of previous generations.

The 3,300-year-old octagonal sword from the Urnfield period, other finds from the Hallstatt period, and a rich collection of various exhibits are silent witnesses to the long and interesting settlement history.

Special "treats" are the fully equipped shoemaker's workshop, the weaving shop, the farmer's parlour, and the smoke kitchen in the city tower.
