Kloster-Schul-Werkstätten & Museum Schönbach

In the rooms of the former monastery, almost forgotten worlds of work such as soap boiling or basket weaving come to life and become a tangible experience. There are guided tours (10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) through the craft museum, the monastery school workshops and various exhibitions. Finally, you can visit the well-stocked monastery store and Korb.Garten - the products of the house and regional products in the "monastery store": soaps, baskets, hand-made beeswax candles, wooden goods, schnapps, poppy and pumpkin products, olive oil and much more. The 1st Austrian basket outlet offers a large selection of baskets from all over Europe.

In the museum , old crafts and lost working worlds can be experienced and understood. The technique of basket weaving , including various basket shapes, materials and types of use typical of the region, is presented as well as interesting facts about flax production. You can also learn interesting facts about the production of shingle roofs and thatched roofs. A visit to the laundry museum is also worthwhile.

TIP: Experience untouched Waldviertel nature on a hike through the nearby Lohnbach Falls .
