Plan your visit ↗

A square full of daily life

On the ground floor, small shops, a kitchen and a schoolroom form a recognisable starting point. They draw attention to everyday activities. See which objects you still recognise and then read how they are placed within this presentation.

Carts and finds from the soil

In the cellar, farm carts, a wainwright and a smithy place the emphasis on work and transport. On the upper floor, attention shifts to archaeological finds. This variety makes it worthwhile to allow enough time for all the parts.

A winter visit needs planning

From November the regular schedule is limited to Saturday afternoon, but December is fully closed. In the summer season there are more visiting days. For a group visit outside the fixed hours, ask about the conditions.

Before you go

Note the full closure in December and check public holidays before you set off.
