Exciting stories
Museums provide an effective way to learn; they are also called world exploration sites. For children, visiting a museum is an important experience that lasts a lifetime. Activities play an essential role in experiences and memories. Looking and listening is not always enough. Trying things out for themselves is part of the experience, and many of the museums are now prepared for this.
Tüchersfeld Castle is the former lower castle of the medieval Niedertüchersfeld Castle, which no longer exists. The site, a complex of houses from the 18th century, is today called “Judenhof” and houses the Franconian Switzerland Museum. The special location below two steeply rising, prominent rock towers made the museum a landmark of Franconian Switzerland. Topics of the museum are geology, archeology, agriculture, rural living, traditional costume, folk piety, crafts, guilds as well as regional art. The synagogue from the 18th century is definitely worth seeing! The Franconian Switzerland Museum can look back on a long list of successful special exhibition projects.
