Ballenberg course centre

Learn a traditional craft

Courses for historical crafts, traditional building trades and design. Learn about various well-known and lesser-known crafts such as blacksmithing, carpentry, glass blowing, calligraphy, pottery and herbalism.

The Ballenberg Heimatwerk course centre has been the successor institution to the traditional Heimatwerkschule Mülenen in Richterswil since 1996. It is committed to craftsmanship, traditional building trades and contemporary design.

Its close proximity to the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum enables reflection on standards and tradition, renewal and change, purpose and form. The course centre has contemporary rooms and infrastructure, a media library, specialist library and cafeteria.
