Göhren Local History Museum

Mönchgut local history museum in the Baltic seaside resort of Göhren

The Göhren Local History Museum in the Baltic seaside resort of Göhren takes visitors on a journey through the history of the Mönchgut peninsula - from prehistoric and early historical finds to the more recent past. The museum is housed in a listed building with thatched roofs, which was built around 1850 as a farmer's, fisherman's and pilot's house. It has belonged to the municipality of Göhren since 1963 and has served as a local history museum ever since.

The exhibitions shed light on the geography and geology of the Mönchgut peninsula as well as the historical development of Göhren - from a small fishing and farming village to the third largest Baltic seaside resort on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. This range makes the museum an informative place to go for anyone who wants to find out more about this special corner of the German Baltic coast.
