Established in 1982, and officially opened to the public in 1999, it has been said to have the world's largest collection of Rolls-Royce cars.

[1] The museum was originally housed in a former textile factory owned by F. M. Hämmerle [de].

The founder's successors, Bernhard and Johannes Vonier, therefore moved the museum to a smaller building nearby that they owned themselves.

[3] With less space available in the smaller building, the museum now focuses on its more special exhibits, and plans to present a new theme each year.
