Tirolerhof Schönbrunn, Farm museum in Hietzing, Austria
Description
Tirolerhof is a reconstructed two-story farmhouse from 1722 featuring residential spaces and agricultural buildings from the Unterinntal region. The complex includes stables, storage areas, and workshops that together illustrate how rural families managed their work and daily routines.
History
Archduke Johann, brother of Emperor Franz II, established this Tyrolean farm in 1802 as an experimental site for new farming methods. The farmhouse was later relocated to the Schönbrunn grounds where it continues to document rural life from that era.
Culture
Rare livestock breeds such as Carinthian spectacled sheep and Tyrolean grey cattle live here in their traditional setting. Visitors can watch how these animals were central to farm life and how people once depended on them for survival.
Practical
The museum is easily accessible and offers guided tours through the different areas with explanations of traditional farming practices. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear since some paths are unpaved and regular animal feeding times occur throughout the day.
Did you know?
The original farmhouse was numbered piece by piece and reassembled within the Schönbrunn Zoo grounds to ensure complete historical accuracy. This meticulous method allowed even the smallest architectural details to be preserved authentically.
