Museum under the open sky A walk around the Fränkisches Freilandmuseum is like travelling back in time through the past 700 years of rural life in Franconia. More than one hundred buildings, most of them furnished with authentic furniture from their period – farmsteads, craftsmen’s cottages, shepherd’s hut, barns, stables, bakeries, drying houses for fruit and flax, a school, a municipal building and a manor house – make for an amazing journey of discovery, showing how Franconian people lived, worked and built their homes in times gone by. Walk from village to village The buildings are arranged in sevengroups, representing different regions and themes. So, walking around the museum site feels a bit like walking from village to village, as people would have done in the past. Of particular interest are the “Middle Ages” group and the “Town” group, located in Bad Windsheim’s old town, with the Spitalkirche (hospital church), the “Museum Kirche in Franken”.
This is a remarkable open air museum - a collection of farm buildings from various centuries. Very spacious, lovely grounds, historically interesting and engaging. Also nice for kids, who will love exploring some of the buildings insides. There are places on the property to grab a bite + some cool playgrounds. The place is a bit off the beaten tourist tracks (for non-Germans), but if you have a chance to pass through, do visit it.
