Saigerhütte Museum

The Kupferhammer Museum Saigerhütte is worth a visit for its magnificent building architecture from the old days alone. The smelter used to be the center of copper processing in Saxony. Four so-called hammer mills were once part of the Saiger factory. Hundreds of buildings in Europe were covered with the Grünthaler roofing copper, which was processed here. These include Dresden's Frauenkirche and Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral, some of which still have green roofs. Pretty impressive, we think.

In the Sagierhütte you can become the smith of your own fortune. Design and forge your own personal lucky symbol with the help of the master! Information, opening hours and prices can be found here: olbernhau.org/museum-saigerhuette.html

Very good museum, many good exhibits and super nice staff!

Definitely worth seeing museum village, instructive tour with demonstration of the hammer.
