Haas Hüte - hats

One of the leading specialist shops in Austria for headwear of all kinds, for men, women and children!

The hat shop with tradition and the huge selection of ladies' and men's hats has been in existence since 1852 and has been a family business since then, now in its 5th generation. As a small specialist hat shop, we always endeavour to fulfil even special and unusual wishes. To the history The "original Cumberland hat" comes from the house of Haas Michael Haas, born in Gmunden in 1862, bought the house at Kammerhofgasse 3 in 1858 and set up a millinery workshop there. From 1868 onwards, he made the Cumberland hat, which is still popular today and named after the ruling house, by order of His Royal Highness Ernst August. Arcaded courtyard This traditional house is around 800 years old and inside there is a beautiful arcaded courtyard, which is decorated with flowers in summer and Christmas decorations in winter. In summer, the arcaded courtyard is open to the public during the day from May to September and in winter during the Christmas period. Every year in December, the ever-popular Advent carol singing, which is now known far beyond Gmunden, takes place in the festively decorated arcade courtyard with the Edelweiss double quartet.
