Freilichtmuseum Klausenhof, Open-air museum in Herrischried, Germany.
Description
Freilichtmuseum Klausenhof is an open-air museum in the southern Black Forest with several historical buildings from different trades. The site includes a farmhouse from the 15th century, a sawmill, a blacksmith shop, a bakehouse, and a traditional farmer's garden.
History
The farmhouse that dominates the site was built in the 15th century and is one of the oldest preserved buildings in the Black Forest region. Its structure with original straw roofing shows an architectural tradition that was distinctive to the southern Black Forest.
Culture
The craft demonstrations show activities that shaped life in the Hotzenwald region for centuries. You can watch how traditional skills like blacksmithing and baking were performed in daily practice.
Practical
The museum is open on Sundays and holidays from January through April and during the same holiday periods plus Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through October. Visit times are in the afternoon, typically starting at 14:30 and ending at 17:30.
Did you know?
The straw roof on the main farmhouse is remarkably rare, as it is one of the last fully preserved examples of this type in the region. This traditional roofing method was replaced almost everywhere by modern materials, making it particularly notable when visiting.
