The museum grounds focus on old craft techniques and the history of regional ore mining.
This former local history museum was founded in 1928 as a civic initiative. Today, the museum, centrally located in the heart of Bensberg, promises fun for the whole family. There are countless things to see in the historic Türmchenhaus that show how people lived and worked in the region around 150 years ago. A show mine can be explored in the cellar. Historical workshops are housed in half-timbered houses on the open-air site, including a water-powered hammer mill and much more.
The museum offers a varied program of events, workshops and guided tours throughout the year. From April to November, craftsmen's demonstrations are held every Sunday. You can find information about the program here.
