Museum in the monastery in Frankenberg (Eder)

Following a comprehensive redesign, you will find an exhibition on the town and district of Frankenberg in the former cloister, refectory and dormitory. It takes you from the great heyday of humanism to the time of the district town in the 19th and 20th centuries. Get to know people and their times!

Philipp Soldan, who was born around 1500, worked in Frankenberg and the region as a stone sculptor, wood carver, form cutter, painter and master builder. He left behind a number of works that still fascinate today with their artistic charisma. Like Tyle von Frankenberg, who worked in the city several generations before him, the Church of Our Lady also became a temporary center of his work during the period of humanism and the Reformation. The museum preserves a number of works by both artists that are reminiscent of the town's early heyday.

The City Views and Circular Views section displays interesting, unusual and rare exhibits from the museum's diverse collection on various themes from the 19th and 20th centuries.
