Freilandmuseum Lehde

Freilandmuseum Lehde is an open-air museum in Lübbenau that shows four historic farmhouses from different parts of the Spreewald. Each building holds furniture and tools that show what daily life was like in the 1800s.

The museum was founded as one of Brandenburg's first open-air museums to save traditional farmhouses from disappearing. Buildings were moved from their original locations across the Spreewald region to make them accessible to visitors.

The houses show how Sorbs lived in this region with crafts and routines that visitors can still watch today. The museum tells the story of a community that has kept its own language and traditions alive through the centuries.

Visit works best during warmer months since the museum is mainly open from April through October. Wear comfortable shoes because the site has several buildings spread across the grounds that you explore on foot.

On the grounds sits one of Germany's oldest boat-building workshops where visitors can see how traditional Spreewald boats were made. This workshop displays craftsmanship knowledge that has shaped the region for centuries.
