History of the building

Josef Mohr founded a cotton spinning mill here in 1824, the first industrial business in Traiskirchen. From 1877 Vöslauer Kammgarn AG processed sheep's wool at this site. In 1987 the municipality bought the site at the instigation of museum founder Franz Schlögl. The museum is still run by volunteers today.
