Old walls combined with modern architecture | A wealth of craftsmanship and culture under one roof | An exhibition on the two upper floors and the “Lieblingswerk” shop on the ground floor of the Hand.Werk.Haus
Located right in the heart of Bad Goisern, within the walls of Neuwildenstein Castle, is the HAND.WERK.HAUS Salzkammergut. Under its roof, everything revolves around crafts from the Salzkammergut region and beyond.
In the two-story exhibition , visitors get a firsthand look at the vibrant diversity of living craftsmanship. The masterpieces and objects range from a traditional outhouse with a cozy, home-like atmosphere to Loden shoes, stag-horn glasses, and lederhosen, as well as box windows and coffee roasted over a wood fire.
There are also stories and interesting facts about our traditional workshops, some of which have been in operation for as long as 200 years!
Here is a list of our master craftsman workshops.
