Sensenschmiede am Gries, Industrial heritage museum in Micheldorf, Austria
The Sensenschmiede am Gries complex features traditional manufacturing buildings, a manor house, and storage facilities along the Krems River.
The factory, established before 1550, developed into the largest scythe producer in the Austrian monarchy under Caspar Zeitlinger during the 19th century.
The museum displays the complete scythe production process through preserved equipment, demonstrating the manufacturing steps required to create these agricultural tools.
The museum remains closed for renovation works until May 2025, but visitors can explore the Sengsschmiedroas hiking path throughout the year.
The factory products carried the distinctive Chalice with Host mark, which became recognized worldwide for indicating superior quality scythes.
