Flohburg

The Flohburg is a timber-framed house in Nordhausen with three stories and a tall gabled roof in Gothic style. The building contains about 1,000 square meters of space arranged as exhibition galleries.

The building was constructed in 1473 as a residence for the noble Bart family. In the late 18th century it was converted into Nordhausen's first theater.

The collections inside reflect how Nordhausen developed over centuries through minerals, archaeological objects, and historical documents. You can see how the city changed and what mattered to people who lived here.

The building is located on Barfüßerstraße and is open several days a week with guided tours and educational programs available. Plan enough time to walk through the multiple floors and explore the different exhibition areas.

The cellar dates from the 11th century, making it older than the house above it, while a wooden panel room from 1506 preserves rare craftsmanship details. These two architectural elements are uncommon in the region and worth seeking out.
