Stamserhaus dates back more than 700 years and is believed to be the oldest farm in Tyrol. Over the years parts of the building have been destroyed, probably by fire, and later rebuilt. The house was mainly used as a tax office, where the peasants of the area had to pay taxes to the princes of Stams. Today the house is a museum, where you can see an exhibition of Christmas crabs. The world's oldest Christmas crib organisation, founded in 1860, is based in the town of Wenns, where the Stamserhaus is located. The exhibition includes over 40 different handmade Christmas cribs. The museum is usually open on Wednesdays and Sundays, but it is recommended that you check the opening times before your visit.
