Hans Reisenauer is a craftsman who has always moved with the times, yet is still committed to the traditions of the Goisern Valley. His individual works of art have been exhibited in many galleries throughout Austria!

Goisern is a village of many contrasts - a combination of all things old and modern - eg the "Hand. Werk.Haus" and Neuwildenstein stately home, the Kirchengasse passageway and the lower Marktstrasse (market street). This contrast helps create the unique atmosphere of this "haven for those interested in local craftsmanship“. Goisern is rich in history, and its local people always have lots of tales to tell.
