Roentgen-Museum

The Roentgen-Museum sits in a building constructed from 1926 to 1928, featuring classicist and baroque elements across four exhibition levels. The collections showcase furniture and clocks from the workshop of the renowned Roentgen family.

The Roentgen family started their workshop in the 18th century, supplying furniture to royal courts from Paris to Saint Petersburg. The museum was founded in 1928 to preserve this artisanal legacy.

The Roentgen name comes from a family whose furniture graced European royal courts for generations. Visitors encounter desks and cabinets that display the craftsmanship and refined taste of their era.

The exhibitions open Tuesday through Friday during morning and early afternoon hours, with shorter hours on weekends. The location is easy to reach and offers visitors a manageable walk through well-organized spaces.

The Apollo Clock was created by David Roentgen and Peter Kinzing for the Russian imperial court, showcasing the mechanical skill that made the workshop famous. This masterwork of watchmaking fascinates visitors with its precise engineering and refined appearance.
