Description
How did people live and work in the 16th century? The permanent exhibition "Living and Working in the Renaissance" in the Horst Castle Adventure Museum provides answers. Come with us on a journey through time and visit the castle construction site in 1565.
You won't find any showcases here. Instead, the focus is on hammering and sawing - seeing, hearing and trying things out.
Your audio guide will take you through the entire museum. We wish you lots of fun!
