Located in the center of Ramstein, the building which houses the “Museum im Westrich“ is a treasure in itself. It is the oldest building in Ramstein, a protected Baroque building dating back to the 18th century. Formerly the building was used as a brewery, a pub, and as the town hall. Nowadays the permanent exhibition of the museum shows a completely furnished corner store, an old herb closet and a lovingly set up village pub. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts several special exhibits every year. It covers a spectrum of historic, folklore, and artistic subjects supplemented by regular concerts and lectures.
Opening hours:
Wednesday 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.
