Glassmaking history in Lenóra

The Sklářské muzeum v Lenoře is housed in the municipal office building. Visitor access may change; check before planning a visit. The museum preserves objects dating from approximately 1880 to 1980 and also documents the production of a major glassworks during more than a hundred years of its operation. The dates for the objects and the duration of the documented production refer to different aspects of the glassmaking tradition.

Another historical date is associated with the Rechle: it was built in 1870. A small glassworks can also be visited; confirm visitor access locally. The museum, Rechle and glassworks thus offer different points of interest if you are interested in the local history of glassmaking.
