More than 230 classic motorcycles and a handful of classic cars have been destroyed in a fire at Austria’s Top Mountain Motorcycle Museum on the morning of January 18.
Firefighters arrived on the scene at 4:00 am local time and the one person present in the building managed to escape safely, according to a Wiener TV report. The museum was not operating at the time as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Located in the Alps, near the Austrian-Italian border, the museum has been dubbed Europe’s highest museum at nearly 2,200 meters (more than 7,000 ft) above sea level. It opened in 2016 and is owned by twin brothers Alban and Attila Scheiber.
