Culture in Rust
CITY TOUR
Guided tour of the listed old town of Rust. During a walk, you will learn interesting facts about the history and architecture of our little town. Due to its short duration (approx. 1 hour), this program is also ideal at the beginning or end of a seminar day.

CITY MUSEUM KREMAYRHAUS
On two floors, farmhouse furniture from western Austria is lovingly showcased. A special piece is a tiled stove made by the artist Koschka in 1895, which had travelled halfway around the world before finding its final destination in Rust. The stove depicts a so-called “poor man’s Bible”. Also on display are a wide variety of paintings, tapestries and pieces of furniture that cast the 17th-century house in a special light. In addition, important items from the Rust city archives are exhibited, including the city’s most important charter – namely the one granting it free city status.
