Austrian Postal and Telegraph Museum Eisenerz
Located in Eisenerz, the mountain city in the historic region of Styria, the Austrian Postal and Telegraph Museum awaits you.
The museum is housed in the historical premises of the Kammerhof and, as early as the 19th century, it captivated its guests when it served as a hunting lodge for Emperor Franz Joseph I. Today, it offers its visitors exciting, lovingly designed, and comprehensive insights into the postal and telegraph services from the imperial era to the present.
