Mining museum in the Steinhaus Granary.
The ‘Granary’ at Steinhaus is the old
management headquarters and grocery store of the
mine at Prettau. Today it accommodates the mining
museum.
The main attraction is a collection of exhibits
relating to mining in the Ahrntal valley and to
the Enzenberg family.
The arduous existence of the miner is brought to
life by means of exquisite wooden models, paintings,
books and finds from the mine.
In addition, at the click of a mouse visitors can
become acquainted with the dangers lurking in the
mine, the miners’ fears of ghosts underground,
the piety this all inspired, as well as the various
occupational groups in the ‘Virtual Chamber
of Wonders’.
