Mönchguter Museen Göhren
The Mönchguter Museen in Göhren bring to life the way fishermen and farmers once lived on the remarkable peninsula of Mönchgut, in the south-eastern corner of Rügen.
Four locations, one story
The museum complex spans several sites: the Heimatmuseum dedicated to the region's heritage, the Rookhus where fish was traditionally smoked, a historic farmstead and a museum ship moored in the harbour. Together they paint a vivid picture of old Mönchgut, complete with traditional costumes and seafarers' tales.
Practical information
The museums combine well with a day on the beach at Göhren or a ride on the Rasender Roland, the narrow-gauge steam railway whose terminus is right here in town. Visit the website for current prices and opening times. You will find all the details and the map location below.
