Located directly on the main road, the Lengefeld lime works is a unique highlight that immediately catches the eye. Unique in its size and preservation of substance throughout Europe, it has been listed as an associated object in the UNESCO World Heritage Ore Mountains/Krušnohoří Mining Region since 2019.
The Lengefeld lime works is one of the most important technical monuments of the old binder industry in Europe. The quarrying of limestone here can be traced back to the 16th century. Technical facilities for the extraction and processing of lime bear witness to this long tradition. Limestone was quarried in Lengefeld until 2015.

The lime works' kiln IV is steeped in history - from the storage of Dresden art treasures at the end of the Second World War to their return from the Soviet Union to the GDR in the 1950s.

In the summer months of June and July, the quarry floor of the lime works is transformed into a blooming landscape. Thousands of wild orchids then unfold their flowering splendor. Catering facilities are located in the immediate vicinity of the museum.
