Wanting to find a souvenir during our visit to Hahndorf and came across the Hahndorf Candlemaker.
Gorgeous little shop offering handmade candles and a variety of decorative items. Fell in love with the handcarved figurines and curly tree German folk art from the Erzgebirge ( Ore Mountains ). So much skill to make these tiny pieces so of course, had to buy!
Lovely lady running the store was very helpful, and made sure my purchases were intact and protected well for their trip home.
If you are looking for a very German souvenir to remember your visit to Hahndorf, drop into the Hahndorf Candlemaker, you are sure to find something wonderful!

Very nice shop, good range of handmade products, the lady who served me was very nice and extremely helpful to advise me on the right choice I should be considering.
However, the owner/candle maker was not so accommodating to say the least!

After asking the nice lady if it was ok to take a video of the candles to send to my partner overseas and she said it was ok to do so, I was suddenly and very rudely approached by the candle maker who demanded I deleted the videos immediately and that he witness this!
He did explain his reasons and I apologized after explaining I was given permission, but his attitude was unacceptable as a business owner.

Not only did he offend me as a customer, but it was very obvious that he also had highly embarrassed the lady who served me.
I wished there were other customers in the shop at that time to see and hear his attitude and perhaps there would be more reviews such as this.

He did apologize but as far as I was concerned the damage was already done.
I had already chosen my candles and the nice lady was wrapping them up.
If it wasn't for her I would have just walked out without making my purchase.

I would not recommend this business to anyone, not because of the product quality, but because of the extremely rude owner who could of easily approached the matter that clearly concerned him in a more customer friendly manner.

On a cold and wet morning it was a pleasure to enter this beautiful shop. I was impressed with the extensive selection of incense burners and I thought the prices of the large candles were very reasonable.

What a great shop and if you want you can make your own candle we were limited for time so unfortunately we did not do this. A wonderful range of products things I had not seen before and I visit every candle shop I come across. You cannot walk out of this shop with making a purchase which of course I did. Lovely young person working the day I was there. Good job.

I love candles and have an abundance of them in the house at any one time so when I was walking past the candlemaker in Hahndorf, I couldn't resist going in, nor purchasing a selection of mini pillar style candles that smelled gorgeous. Suffice to say the teatlights I purchased elsewhere at a fraction of the cost last about 10 times longer than the ones from the candlemaker. Within an hour of lighting the first, in a correctly sized holder, it had completely melted into a puddle. We did fare better with the second, but overall, highly disappointed as they weren't exactly cheap.

I will say that the concept of the shop is great i.e. make your own/design your own scent, but the product itself did not live up to expectations.

Wandering along the Main Street we were intrigued immediately at the beautiful window display of Christmas handcrafted wooden delights!
Entering the store with beautiful scents of candles is so lovely, but it’s the glass cabinets housing so many wonderful wooden toys and traditional Christmas Pyramids is a sight to behold!
We purchased a Christmas Pyramid to celebrate our first Granddaughter Esme, we look forward to many years of showing it to her. And couldn’t resist buying for her a Musical wind up Christmas Box....and then we had to even up the score with a little Xmas deco for each of our kids too :)
Lifetime pieces that will be treasured in our family always!
You’ll love this fantastic shop, and the owners are very helpful in sharing all their wealth of knowledge regarding all the treasures they sell!

For a better candlemaking experience. The windows draw you inside, where a world of candles and balsawood hand crafted creations await your appreciation, these are spectacular. Well worth a visit.
