Transylvanian Museum, Cultural heritage museum in Gundelsheim, Germany

The Transylvanian Museum occupies two floors of Horneck Castle, presenting collections that document the traditions of Transylvanian Saxon communities.

Established in 1968, the museum started from an ethnographic collection gathered by Lore Connerth-Seraphin in Munich during the 1950s.

The exhibits include paintings, traditional costumes, craft tools, and religious artifacts that represent the daily life of Transylvanian Saxons.

Visitors can access the museum independently from other castle facilities through dedicated entrance points on the ground and first floors.

The collection features self-portraits and artworks by Clara Adelheid Soterius von Sachsenheim, alongside paintings from her husband Theodor Sockl.
