Grafschaftsmuseum Wertheim, museum
The Grafschaftsmuseum Wertheim occupies five protected historic buildings in the old town and displays about 22,000 objects ranging from buttons to farm machines. These items span many centuries and show how people lived and worked in this region.
The museum was founded by a local history society and has been collecting regional objects for over 140 years. The main building served as the town hall since the 16th century until 1981.
The museum displays how people in this region lived and worked over the centuries. You can see traditional crafts like indigo printing and paper cutting that shaped local life.
The museum is open year-round and located in the town center with nearby parking available. The rooms are laid out clearly so you can walk through at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed.
One building called the House of the Four Crowned Saints displays stone carvings of four martyrs who were patron saints of stonemasons on its outer wall. This type of decoration is rarely found north of the Alps.
