What you’ll find

What Holzschnitzereien Strobl is known for

Bonifaz Strobl carves nativity figures and Alpine woodwork by hand from his small shop on Seilergasse in Innsbruck's old town, and runs a knife-sharpening counter from the same premises. Each figure is worked individually rather than cast from a mold, in the same Krippen-carving tradition practiced across Tyrol.
