description
The Mönchhof Village Museum gives an insight into the everyday life of farmers and craftsmen in Heideboden (the old name for the northern part of what is now known as the “Seewinkel” region) from around 1890 to the late 1960s. Using around 35 buildings with workshops, work tools and furnishings, the village museum tries to bring back to life the everyday life of this time, which was largely characterized by agriculture.

Special position at the Andau border crossing
The Andau border crossing installed in the Mönchhof village museum has a special position . It refers to the history of the Hungarian-Burgenland border area in the second half of the 20th century. The original border post and the replica of the border station remind on the one hand of the events of the Hungarian uprising in 1956 , on the other hand of the escape movement of GDR citizens from Hungary to Austria in 1989. The Trabant placed in front of the border post was converted to Hungarian in 1989 by a GDR citizen Territory left behind when he fled across the green border to Andau.
