Om
Raske fakta: The museum occupies a former Franciscan monastery built around 1700, complete with a preserved cloister courtyard. Its collections span over 20,000 objects, from Celtic artifacts found on nearby Mount Braunsberg to exhibits about the 1683 Ottoman siege.
Høydepunkter: One entire room recreates a 1920s Hainburg pharmacy with original walnut cabinets, glass-stoppered jars, and hand-labeled remedy bottles still fragrant with dried herbs. A darkened corner displays the "Hainburg Venus," a 5,000-year-old clay fertility figurine discovered during local construction work.
Insidertips
- Ask the staff to open the cloister chapel, which is not always accessible without a guide.
- Bring a small flashlight to better examine the prehistoric stone tools in the dimly lit lower gallery.
- The museum shop sells honey from beehives kept in the monastery garden, a sweet souvenir.
- Combine your visit with a walk up to the Römerwarte tower about 15 minutes away for views over the Danube.
