Museum KulturLand Ries

Museum KulturLand Ries occupies a former monastery building and displays exhibitions on rural farming life across several centuries. The collections include tools, equipment, and household items that document the pace of work and daily routines in the countryside.

The museum was founded in 1984 to document agricultural development in the Ries region. It traces how farming methods changed from hand tools to mechanical equipment over the centuries.

The name refers to the Ries, a farming region with centuries of rural heritage. Visitors encounter everyday objects and tools that reveal how closely people's lives were tied to the land and its seasonal rhythms.

The museum is easily accessible during summer months and allows time to explore the exhibitions at your own pace. Plan to spend about two to three hours to see the main areas comfortably.

The museum offers an interactive geocaching game where visitors solve a fictional theft like detectives. This activity turns the visit into a treasure hunt that unfolds across the grounds.
