Seelackenmuseum - Farmhouse

---

Together with the St. Veit Museum Society, the Seelacken Museum is part of the Ore of the Alps UNESCO Global Geopark. It represents an exhibition and experience space for history and stories, but is also a meeting place and a public space for the village community. The museum is located in the Wallner farmhouse from Schwarzach, built in 1738, which was demolished in 1988 and rebuilt true to the original in its current location between 1992 and 1994. The ensemble consists of the museum building, a granary, baking oven, the Seelacken mill, the cottage garden and a bee exhibit.

One of the focal points of the Seelacken Museum is the 4000-year settlement history of St. Veit. In addition to finds from tunnels such as the Sunnpau mine, some of which lie along the copper ore route, everyday objects such as cloak pins, ceramics and axes from the Bronze Age settlements of Klingelberg and Sonnfeld are on display.

There are also pieces from the Bronze Age burial ground in Schernberg. The living and working environment of the rural population and of the writer Thomas Bernhard and his literary exploration of St. Veit are two of the other focal points of the museum.
