What to expect

The Zigarren- und Heimatmuseum is a museum located in one of the oldest buildings in Schöneck, Saxony. The building was constructed around 1834 and has served various purposes, including as a hospital, homeless shelter, and kindergarten. After extensive restoration, it was reopened in 2005 and now houses the Heimatmuseum, which showcases the history of cigar production, city history, and the working and living conditions of the population. The museum offers insights into the over 100-year history of the cigar industry, including the art of cigar making, and features exhibits on the city's history and the daily life of its inhabitants. Visitors can learn about the process of cigar production, from rolling to packaging, and explore the museum's collection of historical artifacts and exhibits
