Kulmbacher Mönchshof Museums
Kulmbacher Mönchshof
The old brewery of Kulmbach, the beer city, converted into the Bavarian Beer Museum, Bread Museum and Spice Museum. It also has its own beer garden.
The Mönchshof (Monastery Court) is an old monastery brewery in Kulmbach. It now houses the Bavarian Beer Museum, the German Bread Museum and the Spice Museum. Visitors can see the brewing process and taste unfiltered beer brewed on site, then eat Franconian dishes in the restaurant or beer garden. Kulmbach is known as the “beer city,” and its beer week in late July and early August is a major local event. The museums are generally closed on Mondays. Admission costs about 10 euros, including a tasting.
