Mining and Gothic Museum in Leogang

In 2016 the Mining and Gothic Museum Leogang bought the imposing Thurnhaus, a medieval residential and defence tower just opposite the original museum building. Museum director Prof. Mayrhofer and his team put all their effort and energies into raising enough money for the acquisition of the Thurnhaus, its restoration and monumental preservation, its connection to the original museum building and the formation of its exhibitions. The medieval residential and defence tower Thurnhaus is itself historic and brings to life the Gothic art and mining exhibitions displayed there.
