Museum of the Thirty Years War

The Museum of the Thirty Years War occupies seven floors of a medieval Bishop's Castle, displaying military artifacts, documents, and personal items from 1618-1648.

The museum stands near the location of the 1636 Battle of Wittstock, where Swedish forces defeated Imperial troops in a decisive confrontation.

The exhibitions present detailed information about military society, technological advancements, and daily experiences of both soldiers and civilians during the conflict.

Visitors can explore permanent exhibits throughout the year, with seasonal opening hours and limited wheelchair accessibility in certain areas.

The museum contains an extensive collection of period armaments and a knight's armor that demonstrates military equipment evolution during the war.
