Haager Heimatmuseum im Schloss Starhemberg

The Hague Local History Museum is located in the picturesque Starhemberg Castle above Haag am Hausruck.

It showcases old views of castles and palaces in the region, rural life of farmers around 1900, and peasant living conditions at the time, tools of extinct crafts, as well as the history of the area. You can also learn a great deal about the time of the Peasant Wars and Emperor Napoleon.

Another focus is on artists born in Haag, including Herbert Bayer (Bauhaus artist - Haag a. H.), Karel Klostermann (poet of the Bohemian Forest), and Heinrich Claudi, a painter and bookbinder who worked in Haag around 1900.

Additionally, the museum offers an annually changing special exhibition. Children, as well as adults, are particularly thrilled by the faithfully reconstructed rooms in the generous miniature exhibition.

On display here are exhibits from the former lignite mining industry, rural life with tools of extinct craftsmen, as well as the history of the region and the life of the farmers at that time. And you can even learn about the time of the Peasants' Wars and about Emperor Napoleon.

In addition, the museum offers an annual rotating special exhibition. Children, as well as adults, are particularly fascinated by the meticulously recreated rooms in the spacious miniature exhibition.
