Kreisgalerie Mellrichstadt

Om museet

The Kreisgalerie shows the art collection of the Rhön-Grabfeld district in the Altes Spital (Old Hospital) of Mellrichstadt, a building that dates back to 1349. It was inaugurated in June 1993. The driving force was the then district administrator Fritz Steigerwald, who considerably expanded the district's collection in the 1990s.

The paintings and sculptures range from the Baroque to the present and concentrate on artists with a connection to the region – from Franconian Baroque painters such as Johann Joseph Kessler and Georg Anton Urlaub to artists of the 20th century.

A fire in spring 2023 caused considerable damage; for about two years the gallery and café remained closed while rooms were renovated and works restored. Since June 2025 the house has again regularly shown changing exhibitions of contemporary art from Franconia, Hesse and Thuringia on the first floor. The permanent exhibition of the collection remains closed for the time being.

The house includes a museum café with an idyllic inner courtyard garden, where readings and small concerts also take place, as well as a wedding hall on the second floor for civil wedding ceremonies.
