Thonetschlössl

The Thonetschlössl features three floors in a Late-Baroque architectural design with symmetrical elements and detailed exterior decorations throughout the structure.

Originally built as a Capuchin monastery in 1631, the building was destroyed during the Turkish War of 1683 and transformed through various functions before becoming a museum in 1931.

The museum exhibits geological specimens, historical artifacts, weapons from the Turkish Wars, and contains one of Austria's first collections of Avar period items.

Visitors can access the museum Thursday from 9 AM to 1 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and Sunday from 2 PM to 6 PM, with combination tickets priced at 5 euros.

The museum houses Joseph Hyrtl's library collection, containing rare medical texts by authors like Paracelsus and Johannes Wesling, now digitized for public access.
