The Mehlerhaus was built in the 17th century and has been resorted by the District of Tux with the assistance of the local population to create a cultural centre and a small museum. The farm was lived in until 1992 and contains beautiful old wooden Stuben and the kitchen that once formed the central point of peasant life.
