OÖ Schulmuseum

The OÖ. School Museum Bad Leonfelden has been one of the must-see places to explore the Upper Austrian museum landscape since it opened in 1988. It is housed in what is probably the oldest surviving former school building in Upper Austria. It was built in 1577 as the "DOMUS DISCIPLINAE" (House of Education) and was used as a school until 1850.

Visiting the Bad Leonfelden School Museum means:

• To breathe school air from over five centuries
• To get to know the history of the "lower school system" in Austria
• To reflect on how far teaching and education have changed for the better
• To recall memories of your own school days
• To undertake an eventful excursion to a remarkable border region, 27 km north of Linz
