The Middle Ages lives in the heart of Constance. The former butchers’ guild house of 1454 contains unique and faithfully preserved halls, rooms and works of art from the late Middle Ages. The permanent exhibition contains fascinating works of Lake Constance art and cultural history with newer themes dealing with regional history. The inner courtyard and historical museum cafeteria encourage visitors to relax in our historic ambiance.
The historic Rosgarten Museum is located in the centre of Constance. In the Middle Ages, the house ‘Zum Rosgarten’ was the guild house of butchers, grocers, apothecaries, stove makers and ropemakers. Since its foundation in 1870 by the Constance pharmacist and city councillor Ludwig Leiner, the rich collection of artefacts relating to the history of the city and its landscape have been on display here. The listed Leiner Hall on the ground floor still houses the collection of the museum's founder.
In addition to changing themed exhibitions, the Rosgarten Museum presents a permanent exhibition of exhibits from its own collection on the history of the town and the region, covering a range of eras. After a journey into the varied past of the Lake Constance region, visitors can treat themselves to a moment of rest and refreshments in the museum café in the historic extension and inner courtyard.
