Grassmayr Bell Foundry & Museum
Glockengießerei Grassmayr
A family bell foundry with 14 generations and over 400 years of history, where you can watch bells being cast and ring bells with different tones yourself.
The Grassmayr family has been casting bells in Innsbruck since 1599 and still makes large bells for churches around the world. The attached Bell Museum explains the casting process and features a 'Sound Space' where visitors can ring bells and hear the differences in tone. If you're lucky, you may also see a casting in the workshop. Tickets cost about €9 (check the official website for current prices). The museum is closed on Sundays and public holidays. It is in Wilten, about a 15-minute walk from the city center.
Opening hours
Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00, Sat 09:00–17:00, closed Sundays
