Lindberg Farmhouse Museum
The Lindberg Farmhouse Museum is an open-air museum in Lindberg .
Until around 1970, Lindberg still owned a relatively large number of old farmhouses, which were replaced by new buildings around this time. At the beginning of 1974, a North German buyer was found for the old Kuchlerhaus, who was planning a new pension building here. At the initiative of the then Mayor of Lindberg, Baron von Wolffersdorf , the CSU MdB Franz Handlos bought the building, which was ready for demolition.
The farm was first mentioned in 1575, the first owner in 1598. Handlos decided to keep the old house as a museum. With the beams of another building from Rinchnach that had already been demolished , the Kuchlerhaus, which was built entirely in wood, was 27 meters long and 14 meters wide. A new roof was just as necessary as a new Schrout (balcony).
In mid-1974 Handlos acquired the neighboring house and had it restored as well. In February 1975 the dilapidated wooden chapel from Hermannsried near Bischofsmais was added, which was moved in three parts to Lindberg by crane truck. The chapel from 1885 is one of the few remaining old wooden chapels in the Bavarian Forest. The chapel was shortened by 60 centimeters during the reconstruction. The four meter long stone fountain in the courtyard was originally in Langdorf .
The interiors of the house with kitchen, living room, bedroom, pantry and servant's room have been furnished true to the original. There are also exhibitions of local costumes and agricultural implements. The museum opened on June 28, 1975. The delivery house belonging to the farm is used as an inn.
