Bauernmuseum Alte Burgschäferei

Over het museum

The Alte Burgschäferei lies at the foot of Querfurt Castle. An inventory of the castle from 1498 mentions it for the first time as a sheep farm in front of the castle; it was one of the farming operations that supplied the castle's inhabitants with food.

The ensemble grew over several centuries: in the 18th century a coach house was added to the historic sheep barn on the south side, and the single-story residential building received its half-timbered gable in the 1930s. The complex is now a listed monument.

As a farm museum, the sheep farm belongs to Querfurt Castle, which is run by the Saalekreis district. On display are tools, vehicles and machines from about 150 years of agriculture – from sleds and carriages to a steam engine and Lanz Bulldog tractors and an early combine harvester made in the GDR. A furnished farmhouse and a shop give an insight into everyday rural life in the 1930s, and further areas are devoted to crafts such as blacksmith, butcher and shepherd.

The museum also includes a farm garden and enclosures with farm animals, including donkeys, which recall a legend of the castle. During school holidays and project days, children learn old craft techniques here.
