Black Forest Open Air Museum

The museum grounds contain six furnished farmhouses, outbuildings, mills, and chapels representing traditional Black Forest architecture and rural living patterns.

The central Vogtsbauernhof farmhouse, constructed in 1612, forms the foundation of this museum, which opened in 1964 as Baden-Württemberg's first open-air museum.

Each relocated farmhouse illustrates different regional aspects of Black Forest life, including textile work, dairy production, woodworking, and clock manufacturing.

Visitors can explore the museum from March through November, with daily opening hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and final entry at 5:00 PM.

The museum features a 600-year-old sandstone castle, the Schlössle von Effringen, representing the oldest preserved manor house in German open-air museums.
