Burg- und Steinhauermuseum

Om museet

The museum in Flossenbürg in the Upper Palatinate Forest consists of two parts. The castle section tells the story of the castle above the village and of the excavation work at the ruin, which today is a landmark of the area.

The stonemason section is devoted to Flossenbürg granite. It shows granite quarrying in the quarries, especially in the 20th century, the hard work on the stone, historic splitting tools, and the use of oxen, horses, and machines to transport heavy blocks. Other topics include workers and entrepreneurs, works of art made of Flossenbürg granite, and the prisoners in the DEST quarry.
