Bauernhaus-Museum Wolfegg, Open-air museum in Wolfegg, Germany.
Bauernhaus-Museum Wolfegg is an open-air museum with over twenty historical buildings relocated from the Upper Swabia and Württemberg Allgäu regions. The structures showcase rural building styles and contain household items, farm equipment, and tools that reflect how people worked and lived.
The museum was founded in 1978, starting with two key buildings that formed its core. Additional farmsteads and houses were gradually relocated here from across the region to preserve the rural heritage.
The museum shows how people in this region lived their daily lives, with houses that reflect their work, skills, and family routines from centuries past. Walking through the buildings, you see the spaces where families cooked, worked with tools, and spent their time together.
The museum sits on a large open site where you walk between the buildings and explore at your own pace. Comfortable shoes are helpful since there is ground to cover, and it is good to allow several hours to see the different structures.
The oldest building on site is a barn from 1430 that now serves as the entrance structure and originally stored grain and hay for local farms. This single building spans more than five centuries of agricultural tradition in the region.
