About

Tucked away in the charming town of Rabenau, the Deutsches Stuhlbaumuseum (German Chair Making Museum) is a hidden gem that celebrates the age-old craft of making chairs. Imagine stepping into a world where chairs aren’t just furniture, but works of art that tell a story.

Rabenau, which is located just southwest of Dresden, has been producing wooden chairs for more than 400 years. The museum, which is located in a building that was once part of a castle complex, explore that history and the current art of crafting chairs.

This museum brings to life the creativity and skill that has been passed down through generations in this chair-making hub. It’s a place where you can marvel at the craftsmanship, learn about the history of chair production, and even appreciate the simple elegance of a well-made seat. Whether you’re a design enthusiast or just someone who loves discovering unique places, the Stuhlbaumuseum offers a fascinating glimpse into a craft that’s as sturdy as the chairs it celebrates.
