Local museum

The museum in Wolfhalden occupies a residential building from the 17th century and displays objects related to regional history and everyday culture. The collection includes furniture, tools, clothing, and archive documents that reflect life in this area across several generations.

The building dates back to the 17th century, a time when the region was shaped by silk weaving and agriculture. Archive documents in the museum record these economic activities and show how life in Wolfhalden evolved over the centuries.

The exhibition presents a completely preserved interior of the former inn 'Zur alten Krone', giving visitors a sense of hospitality and everyday life from past times. Traditional household objects like wedding chests and village flags also tell stories of local customs and craft traditions.

The museum is open from May through October on Sundays from 10 to 12, with guided tours available by advance booking. It is best to contact ahead to arrange access and learn more about the collections.

The cellar houses an original fruit press and cider mill, showing how important fruit cultivation and cider production were to the region's economic activity. This functioning equipment provides a direct sense of craft production methods that were practiced for generations in this area.
