Historical atmosphere and rural culture

The Rahden Museum Farm is more than just an open-air museum - it is an authentic window into the past. The various buildings, from the dwelling house to the barns, are furnished true to the original and invite you to take a tour where you can literally feel the history. The "Lütken Hus" in particular has a permanent exhibition on flax processing. Here you can learn how the raw material flax was painstakingly processed by hand into linen, which was once an important component of clothing and textiles. There is also an informative exhibition on old peasant costumes, which provides an exciting insight into the fashion and traditions of rural life.

Guided tours and modern audio guides

Would you like to delve even deeper into history? Then take part in one of the expert guided tours, which will give you detailed insights into the individual areas of the courtyard. Alternatively, you can also explore the museum courtyard individually with the new audio guide, which tells you exciting stories and background information at various stations.

Action days - the courtyard comes to life

On the special action days, the Rahden Museum Courtyard becomes the setting for a colourful program that brings the past to life. The historic horse mill will be put into operation and you can enjoy freshly baked cakes from the old stone oven. Artisans from the region present their work and invite you to marvel and join in. These days offer a varied experience for the whole family, where young and old can immerse themselves in the world of yesteryear.

Do it yourself and get active

There is a special opportunity for groups to get active themselves and experience old craftsmanship up close. As part of the museum's educational program, for example, you can make your own butter or bake pizza or cakes in the historic stone oven. In addition, the museum farm and its experts offer workshops in traditional techniques such as beekeeping, spinning, weaving and blueprinting. These activities not only impart ancient knowledge, but also provide creative and unforgettable experiences.
