Miner’s House

Kösslerhäusl Heritage Museum

The Kössler mining family lived at the Kösslerhäusl in the 16th century. This house certainly has a special role to play amongst the countless other museums in SalzburgerLand.

You see, this house isn’t a museum in the classic sense, with numerous exhibits. The entire Kösslerhäusl is an exhibit in its own right. The focus here has been on preserving a typical miner’s home of that period. To this point, they have succeeded in preserving this impressive wooden building in its original condition and at its original location.

It is impossible to pinpoint the exact age of the Kösslerhäusl, though the existence of the Kösslers, a mining family, has been documented back to the 16th century. In this building, the living space, storage areas and barn were all lumped together under one roof.

The Rauchkuchl, with its old, still-preserved cobalt stove and a wooden smoke vent, is just one of the highlights of this museum. On the upper floor, you will find an exhibition of antique farming tools and equipment:


  • Wooden plow
  • Wooden threshing machine
  • Old windmill
  • Equipment for harvesting hay and grain
  • Hoist
  • Carpenter’s screws

 

In the expanded cellar there is an exhibition room with a collection of around 2,000 knives, numerous old documents, folk costumes and musical instruments.
