Austrian Open Air Museum Stübing
About This Museum
What truly sets Stübing apart is how it gathers nearly a hundred original farmhouses, barns, and workshops from every corner of Austria onto one sprawling, hilly landscape. It’s like taking a long, slow walk through the entire country's rural history without ever leaving the valley. You'll encounter everything from a smoky black kitchen from Carinthia to a sturdy Alpine hay hut from the Tyrol, each building meticulously moved and restored right here. The air smells of woodsmoke and hay, making the past feel wonderfully tangible.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the ensemble of buildings from Burgenland with their distinctive thatched roofs, or the fascinating 'Rauchstubenhaus', a farmhouse built around a single, central room where the family lived and worked around an open hearth. Seeing the fully-equipped village forge and the charming wayside chapels scattered along the paths really completes the picture of daily life.
Visitor Information
Wear your comfy shoes because this is a sprawling, outdoor adventure—the paths wind through beautiful woodland and up gentle hills. It's especially magical during their seasonal events when craftspeople are on-site demonstrating traditional skills and the old bread ovens are fired up.
Architecture & Building
The buildings showcase a stunning diversity of regional timber construction, from low-slung, log-built farmsteads with shingle roofs to grand, multi-story Alpine structures designed to house both family and livestock under one enormous roof.
