Schleswig-Holsteinisches Freilichtmuseum, Outdoor heritage museum in Molfsee, Germany.
Description
The Schleswig-Holsteinisches Freilichtmuseum is an open-air museum in Molfsee with historical buildings moved from their original locations. The houses, farms, and workshops come from different time periods and display the rural architecture of Northern Germany.
History
The museum was founded in 1965 to collect and display buildings from several centuries. Through examples from the 16th to 20th centuries, it documents how rural life in Schleswig-Holstein changed and developed over time.
Culture
The buildings show construction methods and styles that developed in this region over generations. You see how people built and lived, from simple farmhouses to craftspeople's workshops that served the community.
Practical
The site is sprawling and requires comfortable shoes and time to explore fully. The grounds have various paths, some paved with stones and others more natural, so be prepared for different ground conditions.
Did you know?
Many visitors do not know that the buildings were actually removed from their original locations and reconstructed here. This gives the museum real authenticity, as these are genuine historical structures rather than copies or replicas.
