Austrian Scythe Smithy Museum

The "Manor" represents the great achievements made by the Upper Austrian scythe blacksmith industry.

At Micheldorf´s "Workshop at Grieß" (Gradn), visitors are provided with insights into the life and traditions of the area´s rich blacksmith dynasties, who were dubbed "Black Earls".
The high-quality scythes were much in demand in foreign countries and brought prosperity to the local scythe manufacturers. The economic development and the worldwide business relations are demonstrated at the "Kram" Building. At the "Hammer", visitors learn interesting details on the elaborate manufacture of high quality scythes.

Guided Tours for Groups of 10+ can be arranged year-round and anytime by appointment.
