The NordJURA Museum is a museum in the Franconian town of Weismain in the Lichtenfels district .

Herbstmühle in Wunkendorfer Bärental. Planned branch of the museum.

The museum, founded in 1907 , was reopened after a redesign on May 14, 2004 in the historic rooms of the listed Kastenhof, a building constructed between 1701 and 1703 according to plans by Johann Leonhard Dientzenhofer . In addition to the Thirty Years' War, the exhibition focuses on the emergence of the Franconian Jura , denominational fragmentation and the economic sectors in the region with a focus on brewing, sheep farming, water power, fishing and textile crafts. On around 600 square meters of exhibition space, a cannon captured by the Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War is shown. The museum is also dedicated to the Cistercian abbot Mauritius Knauer , the author of the centenary calendar . Approx. 300 exhibits are on display, the archive comprises 7,000 articles.

The city tourist information and a museum shop are attached to the museum, and there are regular museum educational activities and special exhibitions. The plan is to make the so-called autumn mill near Wunkendorf a branch of the museum. A grinding room and a Francis turbine can already be visited there today.
