Zingst local history museum with museum courtyard
📍 Seeheilbad Zingst
An old captain's house and a transparent extension - the Zingster Museum is a modern place to experience history.
Clearly laid out and charming, it tells the story of the lives of the local coastal inhabitants: how clipper ships became circumnavigators, how a cradle saved lives and how the Baltic Sea waves song really came about.
At the same time, the house offers art experiences in changing exhibitions in a small gallery and in the outdoor area. Maritime literature is available in a small library and there is a museum quiz for schoolchildren. There are also guided tours and lecture evenings in a feel-good atmosphere.
The museum courtyard is often a hive of activity from Easter to Advent. In summer, the music pavilion becomes a concert stage, and every Thursday (Easter to October), traders offer regional products. The organic food store on the farm sells "Gaude Kost" almost every day. The Müller bakery produces specialties such as Zingster Urbrot. It is also tempting to have breakfast on the terrace on a sunny morning or enjoy coffee and cake in the "Alt Zingst" café.
Visitors can create their own souvenirs with beach finds and other materials in the Pommernstube, where courses and workshops are also held. The museum barn serves as an event venue and registry office and is sometimes transformed into a workshop for young and old alike. Old gravestones and "Darß doors" from Zingst lean against its gables. Vegetables, herbs and flowers grow in the farm garden behind the barn. Old farming tools are reminiscent of times when farming was still small-scale and worked without high-tech.
The Zingst museum farm has a lot to offer. Visitors can tour it and the museum free of charge.
