Jagdmuseum Schalksmühle

Jagdmuseum Schalksmühle is housed in a converted factory building and displays more than 1200 items related to hunting and wildlife. The exhibition covers hundreds of square meters with antlers, animal specimens, hunting weapons, and trophies from different regions and periods.

The museum opened in 2004 after renovating a former industrial building that once housed plastic manufacturing equipment. This transformation of an old factory into a cultural space reflects how buildings can find new purposes.

The museum reflects how forests and hunting have shaped life in this region for many generations. Its collections show the relationship between local communities and the wildlife they have long observed and pursued.

The museum is located in the Asenbach district and can be reached easily with parking available nearby. Guided tours are offered in German and English, and the facility is accessible for visitors with different mobility needs.

The collection includes preserved specimens of animal species that have disappeared from the region, such as capercaillie and partridge. These extinct local species offer insight into how the landscape and wildlife of Sauerland looked in earlier times.
