Description
How did people live and work in the 16th century? The permanent exhibition "Living and Working in the Renaissance" in the Schloss Horst adventure museum provides answers. Come along 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.
The audio guide leads you through the entire museum. We wish you lots of fun!
