Dorfmuseum Mönchhof

The Dorfmuseum Mönchhof is an open-air museum with around 35 reconstructed buildings from the Heideboden region, including residential houses, workshops, and traditional shops. The structures date from different periods and show how people lived and worked between 1890 and 1960.

The museum developed in the 1980s through private initiative when families began collecting and preserving local artifacts. This collecting effort led to the creation of the complete museum facility that visitors can see today.

The museum displays a railway station with three equipped train cars that document transport heritage since the Neusiedler Seebahn was introduced in 1897. The railway shaped regional connections at that time and remains an important part of local history today.

Visitors can enter all buildings and explore the reconstructed rooms themselves or join guided tours that explain details about daily life. The museum also features a functioning historical inn serving traditional meals and a rustic granary available for group celebrations.

The museum operates a genuine historic inn where visitors can eat traditional dishes exactly as people did about 100 years ago. This makes the visit a complete experience since you not only see but also taste how life was lived back then.
