Glockengießerhaus, which was built around the year 1385, is the oldest bell foundry in the German speaking countries. The foundry was in production until 1896 and has been preserved in its original state. The building accommodates the local history museum and the historical collections of the regional association “Alt Brauau”. A part of the museum, the "Heimatstube der Donauschwaben", is dedicated to the Danube-Swabians and their settlements, life, culture, expulsion by the advancing Russion army in 1944 and repossession of their homelands.
