The blackmith workshop worked for the collegial church of Spital over 500 years ago and from 1808 onwards for a period of 150 years the factory was used as tool smith for waggoners, wood-cutters and farmers.

The former smithy of the pin Spital am Pyhrn caused by commercial traffic to and from Venice in the time after 1300. The first detectable blacksmith Andreas was still working for the hospital.

Andreas Ferdinand Lindermayr took over the smithy at a time in the Baroque style of the pin promised fruitful work. Became famous for the ornate lines of the 1734 completed his degree grid of the Collegiate Church.
Until the middle of the Steyr Smith delivered from his jobs, including grave crosses, window baskets, pub signs and door hardware. His son Matthew expanded the business to a Frätschlerei, a general store and also ran the weapons Locksmith and watchmaking.
