Dominican Museum Rottweil

The Dominican Museum occupies a former monastery building and displays objects from different periods. Three departments present Roman artifacts, medieval artworks, and rotating modern exhibitions all in one location.

Rottweil was known as Arae Flaviae during Roman times and was the sole Roman settlement in Baden-Württemberg. The museum preserves evidence of this ancient past as well as the town's medieval development as a religious center.

The collection displays late Gothic carvings and altar pieces made by Swabian artists, reflecting regional religious artistic traditions. You can see the craftsmanship that shaped how local communities decorated their churches and sacred spaces.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and sits in a central part of town. On-site information helps with orientation, and the spaces are accessible for visitors with varying mobility needs.

The basement houses the Dursch Collection with roughly 180 altar pieces and carvings, one of the largest collections of its kind. These works span several centuries and come from different artists, telling the story of regional artistic history.
