Landschaftsmuseum Angeln, Open-air museum in Unewatt, Germany.
The Landschaftsmuseum Angeln is an open-air museum in Unewatt displaying farmhouses and craft buildings from the region set within the active village itself. A walking route of about 1.7 kilometers connects five different stations throughout the settlement.
The museum was established to preserve the rural history of the Angeln region, relocating a historic farmhouse from elsewhere in the 1980s to its current location. The collection documents the everyday life and work methods of farmers and craftspeople from past centuries.
The collection displays traditional crafts and food production methods through working structures like a water-powered butter mill and a smokehouse. Visitors can observe how people once preserved and prepared food using techniques that shaped local life.
The museum operates from April through October with extended hours from May to September, closing during winter months. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the stations are spread throughout the village on walking paths.
The museum is set within an active village where roughly 70 residents continue their daily lives among the preserved buildings. This living setting means the historical structures remain integrated into community life rather than separated as isolated exhibits.
