Fränkisches Freilandmuseum, Open-air museum and brewery in Bad Windsheim, Germany.
Fränkisches Freilandmuseum is an open-air museum and brewery in Bad Windsheim housing around 100 buildings from different periods to document how Franconian architecture developed. The farmhouses, workshops, and dwellings display the living and working conditions of people across this region over time.
The museum was founded in 1971 to preserve agricultural buildings and farmhouses from various parts of Franconia through careful relocation and restoration. This collection creates a living archive of how regional construction and rural life developed over centuries.
Visitors watch craftspeople at work demonstrating traditional pottery, weaving, and bread baking that reflect how people lived in earlier times. These skills shaped the look of the buildings and show how closely work and daily life were connected in rural communities.
The grounds are best explored on foot since buildings are spread across the site with paths connecting them throughout. Wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time to wander between the different areas and watch the craft demonstrations.
The site operates a historical brewery producing beer using traditional Franconian recipes and local ingredients in view of visitors. You can watch the brewing process unfold and learn how this region created its distinctive beer-making tradition.
