The Freilichtanlage Bechelsdorfer Schulzenhof is a living testament to the past. It’s Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s oldest open-air museum. Imagine life in the 1800s. The main building the Schulzenhaus was built around 1525. It stood in Bechelsdorf until the 1960s. Then it found a new home here in Schönberg. It wasn’t alone. A barn a rare pre-Reformation “Kühlbungsdielenscheune” joined it. This barn is unique. It is the only one of its kind left in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The Schulzenhaus itself tells a story. Multiple expansions were added since its original construction. It displays life as it was around 1800. The ‘Döns’ ‘De Kök’ and three chambers give you a peek into daily life. Even the stables hold their secrets. They host rotating exhibits exploring the agricultural tools and ways of the era.
