Baroque House Neißstraße 30
Barockhaus Neißstraße 30
A Baroque merchant's house beside the Untermarkt, now a museum preserving 18th-century ornate halls and a scientific collection.
This merchant's house, built in 1727, is now a branch of the Museum of Cultural History. It recreates Baroque and Rococo living rooms and displays books, scientific instruments and antiquities from the Upper Lusatian Society of Sciences. The top-floor library is a favourite of history-of-science enthusiasts. It shares a combined ticket with Kaisertrutz and the Reichenbach Tower and is closed on Mondays. It is a one-minute walk from the Untermarkt and can be visited along with the town hall.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun about 10:00–17:00
