This museum is a testament to the history of timekeeping, with a collection that spans four centuries.

Historic Location of the Museum

The Naunhof Tower Clock Museum is situated in a historic half-timbered house dating back to 1837, which used to be the Naunhof girls' school. This setting adds a unique charm to the museum, making it a fascinating place to explore the history of timekeeping.

Collection of the Museum

The museum boasts a collection of tower clocks from four different centuries, all of which have been gathered and restored by the association. This extensive collection provides a unique insight into the evolution of timekeeping technology over the years.

Oldest and Newest Exhibits

The oldest exhibit in the museum is a tower clock with quarter and hour strike from Colditz Castle, dating back to 1606. On the other hand, one of the newer exhibits is an electronic radio main clock from Pragotron, Prague, circa 1980, used for transmitting the exact time at the Leipzig radio station. These exhibits highlight the technological advancements in timekeeping over the centuries.
