Museo Colonial Alemán de Frutillar

The museum spans across multiple wooden buildings displaying tools, machinery, and household items used by German settlers in Southern Chile during the 19th century.

Built in 1972 with support from Germany and Universidad Austral de Chile, the museum includes structures such as a watermill, blacksmith house, and an 1889 countryside residence.

The museum collection presents daily life elements of German immigrants through period furniture, agricultural equipment, and domestic tools arranged in authentic room settings.

Located at the intersection of Pérez Rosales and Prat streets, the museum offers guided tours through its buildings and surrounding gardens with century-old trees.

The museum features a working blacksmith who creates personalized horseshoes for visitors while demonstrating traditional metalworking techniques from the colonial period.
