Millstone museum Steinbrecherhaus

In the grounds of the large Scherer millstone quarry, the STEINBRECHERHAUS, built around 1802, has been preserved almost in its original state. In 2006, the "Steinbrecherhaus Association" acquired the house and carefully restored it. The stone crusher house was opened in 2007 as a millstone museum and a venue for cultural events.

The museum that never closes
The fascinating world of millstones
around the clock
The millstone museum Steinbrecherhaus offers a unique opportunity to experience the history and culture of the Perger millstone crushers around the clock. With an innovative audio guide system, you can explore the various exhibition areas of the freely accessible site at Mühlsteinstraße 43 at any time and at your own pace. The informative and entertaining narrations bring historical objects to life and enable a deep understanding of the town of Perg's past.
The millstone is one of the oldest, most important and above all vital tools of mankind. Because the millstone is the prerequisite for our daily bread. Even in the Bible, in the Book of Moses, it says: "You shall not seize the mill or the millstone, for whoever does so seizes life!
And for centuries, millstones have ensured a certain prosperity for the small market town of Perg. After all, the Perg millstone quarries were famous far and wide and were the largest in the old k&k monarchy.
