Bauernhaus-Museum Allgäu-Oberschwaben Wolfegg

The Bauernhaus-Museum Allgäu-Oberschwaben Wolfegg is one of southern Germany’s most charming open-air museums, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into rural life in Upper Swabia and the Allgäu over the past several centuries. Nestled in the scenic countryside near Lake Constance, the museum combines history, architecture, nature, and traditional farming culture in a unique setting. Spread across a large landscaped site, the museum features more than twenty historic farmhouses, barns, workshops, and outbuildings that were carefully relocated and reconstructed from villages throughout the region. Walking through the grounds feels like stepping into a living village where each building tells its own story about the people who once lived and worked there. Inside the beautifully preserved houses, visitors can explore original living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, stables, and workshops furnished as they would have appeared generations ago. The exhibitions reveal how farming families managed daily life, from cooking and crafts to agriculture and animal husbandry.
