Seiffen

Seiffen is best known within Saxony for its hand-made wooden toys and Christmas decorations. Set in the Ore Mountains near the Czech border, the town is a centre of Erzgebirge folk craft, where workshops produce nutcrackers, smoking figures, candle arches and Christmas pyramids. This tradition developed as local mining declined, giving the settlement an identity that reaches far beyond its industrial past. The Seiffen Toy Museum and the Ore Mountain Open-Air Museum trace the skills and home settings behind these objects, while the town’s octagonal church is a well-known landmark.
