The Habán museum in Sobotiště is located in the historic Habánsky dvor area, in a renovated building - the Habán mill.

The museum's exposition will introduce you to the history of the formation of the New Baptists, their activities in Moravia, southwestern Slovakia, persecution and migration to other countries of the world, up to the current life of Hutterite communities. Among the exhibits, a model of a Haban house, a cross-section of a Haban roof, replicas of original clothing, and Sobotišt faience will be of interest. The construction of the Haban mill itself is no less interesting.
