Over het museum
The Scherer house, known as the “maison suisse” (Swiss house), was built in 1669 by Bernese settlers brought in to repopulate Alsace after the Thirty Years' War. It follows the Renaissance style of the Bernese Oberland and was remodelled in 1718 and again in 1800. When it was built, only the church's bell tower remained of the village.
The Association pour la Protection du Patrimoine, founded in 1984, maintains the house and collects objects from rural life in the northern Vosges. The restoration respected the archaeological finds: door and window surrounds in dark-painted sandstone, half-timbering tinted grey with black lines around the infill. A distinctive feature of the house is an internal partition that divides it in two lengthwise.
The complex also includes an oil mill and the village's old forge. The museum displays tools from many trades (farmer, baker, shoemaker, clog-maker, woodcutter), furniture and everyday objects from the early 20th century. The guided tour devotes a large part to the history of Wimmenau.
