Museum Wolmirstedt

The regional museum, founded in 1927, is located in a reconstructed quarry stone barn from 1846, which is part of a historic ensemble of buildings on the medieval castle grounds in the center of Wolmirstedt. The exterior of the castle domain includes the gatehouse, the manor house, the castle chapel, the castle and the castle garden. It is possible to visit the inside of the castle chapel, which was built in 1480 in the brick Gothic style.

The Museum Wolmirstedt is an institution in sponsorship of the Landkreis Börde. After extensive renovation and modernization work, the museum, which is run by full-time staff, has attractive exhibitions on a variety of topics:

• Geology and Utilization of Mineral Resources in the Landkreis Börde from the Beginnings to the Present".

In particular, the newspaper "Allgemeiner Anzeiger" for the districts of Wolmirstedt and Neuhaldensleben with the years 1855 - 1943 forms an inexhaustible historical source.

After the reconstruction in 2011/12, the Museum Wolmirstedt has a representative museum store, where a wide range of local history literature and regional products are available.

The Museum Wolmirstedt works closely with schools in the region and is a cooperation partner of the Kurfürst-Joachim-Friedrich-Gymnasium, the Johannes-Gutenberg-Ganztagsschule and the Bildungs- und Freizeitzentrum Wolmirstedt.
