Schloss Lerchen MUSEUM & capuchin tower MUSEUM
Museums in Radstadt
Take a fascinating tour of local history in these two museums of Radstadt. Heimatmuseum Schloss Lerchen introduces visitors to famous local people down the years, provides insights into the crafts and skills of yesteryear, and reveals plenty about the geology and landscape of the region. The Kapuzinerturm museum is an interesting place to visit, not least because of its artfully crafted roof truss and the history of the tower itself.
