Austrian Open Air Museum Stuebing

Wood, Architecture

Established in 1970, the Open Air Museum Stuebing displays 97 reconstructed historic wooden peasant houses that are mainly used to be in the Alpine Provinces. They are lined from the west to the east according to the actual geography of Austria.

A house often consists of living space for both human and livestock, with various styles and roofs made of thatches or shingles. There are various kinds of wooden houses, as different designs are made to fit local geological characteristics.

Prehistoric hunting huts made with local tree bark accompanied by ancient coal-making facility can also be spotted in the museum.
