Schlossmuseum Murnau, Country house museum in Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany.
Description
The Schlossmuseum Murnau is located in a former castle with 16th-century additions and displays art collections and historical rooms. The exhibitions span multiple floors and present artworks alongside furniture and period furnishings.
History
The building served as an administrative residence for Ettal Monastery managers for over 400 years before losing this role during Bavaria's secularization period. Its conversion to a museum after this transition marked a major change in the castle's use.
Culture
The museum displays works and studio spaces from artists of the local art colony that flourished in Murnau. Visitors can see historical studio furnishings that reflect how these artists lived and worked.
Practical
The museum is within walking distance of the town center and located near Staffelsee lake. Visitors should check in advance which exhibition areas are open, as occasional renovations may affect access to certain rooms.
Did you know?
