Description
The City Museum of Lindau occupies a Gothic mansion from the 15th century that once served as the town hall and is now a protected heritage site. Inside, visitors find paintings, historical documents, photographs, and objects that record how this Bavarian lakeside town grew and changed.
History
The museum was founded in 1929 and opened in the Cavazzen House, an important Renaissance building. The town itself has roots in Roman times and grew into a major trading center on the lake.
Culture
The museum displays Roman pottery, medieval artifacts, and maritime objects that reveal how this place functioned as a busy port. These items show the daily life and work of people who lived here and shaped the town through trade.
Practical
The building sits in the historic old town right by the harbor, within easy walking distance from the town center. Visitors should check the official website before going, as the museum is currently undergoing renovations and reopening dates have not yet been set.
