Freilichtmuseum Klockenhagen

The Freilichtmuseum Klockenhagen is an open-air museum spanning about 6 hectares in Ribnitz-Damgarten with historic buildings and craft workshops. It displays rural architecture and living traditions from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, with original houses rebuilt at this location.

The museum was founded to preserve rural buildings from different villages in the region, including a mill from 1795. These houses were rescued from demolition and brought together in one place to document regional history.

The museum shows how people lived and worked in this region long ago. Visitors see traditional crafts, regional products, and learn through hands-on activities what daily rural life looked like.

The museum is open from April to October, with extended hours during July and August. The best time to visit is on good weather days when you can fully explore the outdoor areas and craft stations.

The museum houses an herb garden with about 300 plants, designed following the teachings of Abbess Hildegard von Bingen. This garden displays traditional medicinal plants that have been known and used in this region for centuries.
