Leben und Arbeiten in der Renaissance

In the organizer's words:

Visitors go on a journey back in time to the castle construction site in 1565. You will look in vain for showcases here. Instead, the focus is on hammering and sawing - seeing, hearing and trying things out. Typical professions of the time are presented: Blacksmiths, stonemasons, carpenters, slaters, bricklayers and plasterers - among other things, the production of bricks, the payment of wages as well as measuring instruments and calculating aids from the time are shown. One room of the adventure museum is dedicated to the master builder of Horst Castle - Arndt Johannsen. From around 1556 to 1567, he oversaw the construction work on the castle, which is considered the most important Renaissance building in the Ruhr region and one of the oldest and most important Renaissance buildings in Westphalia.
