Significance of the Wittelsbach Castle
The Wittelsbacher Museum derives its name from the extensive documentation of Wittelsbach Castle, which served as the ancestral seat of the Wittelsbachs from the 12th to the early 13th century. The museum provides a deep dive into the history of this influential family and their castle, offering a unique perspective on the region's past.
Exhibitions at the Wittelsbacher Museum
The Wittelsbacher Museum now houses an exhibition on archaeology in the city area spread across four floors. The exhibition focuses on the Grubet with its early medieval ore mining area and especially the excavations at the ancestral castle of the Wittelsbachs in Oberwittelsbach. This provides visitors with a comprehensive understanding of the region's archaeological and historical significance.
