Minimundus history
Buildings from
around the world
in miniature
Minimundus is one of the most popular and
well-known excursion destinations in Carinthia.
The history of the miniature world at Lake Wörthersee began in the 1950s with the vision of the regional chairman of SAVE THE CHILDREN at that time, Dr. Peter Zojer, to bring together the sights of the world in one place. Under the original name of “Minieurop” there were 20 models to view at that time.
Over time the area was expanded to 26,000 m² and numerous buildings from near and far were added. Following major restructuring, Minimundus has shone in new splendour since spring 2016. The new indoor interactive experience and an attractive framework programme with musical and culinary events have made Minimundus an all-year-round experience for adults and families.
