People with mental or additional physical disabilities live in the St. Martin residential communities in Klosterneuburg. What all residents have in common is that they like to live in a community and want to actively participate in community life. With the support of carers, they want to live like all people without disabilities. In addition to their normal daily routine (cooking, cleaning, shopping, laundry, ...), they engage in individual hobbies and love to fill their free time with joint activities (excursions, hiking and workshops).

The candle workshop emerged from one of these leisure workshops in the summer of 2021. A team of 18 dedicated candle makers, who meet regularly in the workshop in changing combinations, carefully handcraft new candles and are proud of their own creative products. With the proceeds of the candles sold, the team finances common leisure activities and supports the association Wohngemeinschaft St. Martin.

The current product range includes mosaic candles in various colours and shapes, different animal candles, melon candles and garden torches.
You can also see the works of art in our SCHÖN & GUT shop and buy a wide variety of creative candles.
