Portal zur Geschichte e.V., museum in Germany
Portal zur Geschichte e.V. is a museum in Bad Gandersheim spread across two locations throughout the town, displaying the history of the foundation and its treasures. The exhibition in the church space and in the monastery church of Brunshausen presents reliquaries, ancient artworks, and personal objects that bring the past to life.
The Bad Gandersheim foundation was established as a religious community and received reliquaries from popes at its founding. Over centuries it accumulated additional holy objects until secularization in 1810 scattered the collection.
This museum demonstrates the religious roots of Bad Gandersheim, deeply connected to the foundation's role in the region. Through its displays, visitors witness how the institution shaped local life and community over many centuries.
This museum can be visited at two locations, in the foundation church and at the monastery church of Brunshausen, so visitors should plan time for both sites. The exhibitions are open year-round but checking hours beforehand is recommended.
During restoration work at the church, the church treasury was rediscovered after being lost for decades. This finding became the starting point for creating the museum.
