Forst- und Jagdmuseum Ferdinand von Raesfeld

The Forst- und Jagdmuseum Ferdinand von Raesfeld displays forestry tools, mounted specimens, and hunting artifacts in a former forestry office building.

The museum building served as a hunting lodge for Pomeranian dukes and hosted Tsar Peter I and King Frederick IV of Denmark during the Great Northern War in 1712.

The institution documents the development of local forestry practices through biographies of head forest wardens and extensive collections of historical hunting literature.

The museum opens its doors from May through October, Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 16:00, with exhibitions spread across multiple rooms and a courtyard.

The museum features a full-body mount exhibition of two stags engaged in rutting combat, accompanied by traditional forest sounds.
