"Tradition & Mythos" - Grand Finale

Exhibition of the Barmstoana Perchten with catering

Who knows that the two Barmstoana were hurled here by the devil himself above Hallein when he was once awakened on Christmas Eve by singing pilgrims? The story of the Barmstoana Perchten revolves around this myth, whose multifaceted wooden masks are all made independently.

In this exciting and historically rich topic, the house will dive into the special exhibition in 2025 and provide deep insights into old traditions and new developments. The special exhibition at the Hundsmarktmühle will present some of the most beautiful as well as the most frightening masks in connection with the tradition of the Perchten customs.
