The Farmers' Museum at the Tschötscherhof in Kastelruth, a picturesque town in South Tyrol, offers a deep insight into the life of mountain farmers and woodworkers at the beginning of the 20th century. The Tschötscherhof, a farmhouse over 500 years old, houses this private museum, which was set up in collaboration with the Kastelruth Museum Association.
Inside the museum, which spans two floors, visitors will find a variety of exhibits documenting the rural life and work. These include everyday objects, household appliances, agricultural tools, as well as utensils for wool processing. These collections provide a vivid picture of the traditions and customs of the region.
The Tschötscherhof is not only a museum, but also an active farm that still processes wood for private use today. Additionally, a restaurant invites visitors to enjoy local specialties and participate in the traditional "Törggelen" in autumn, a custom where young wines and chestnuts are tasted.
