Historical Museum Saar
Historisches Museum Saar
Located beneath the castle and beside its wings, where you can walk through the medieval castle's underground fortress passages and learn about the turbulent 20th-century history of the Saar region.
The Historical Museum Saar sits beneath the castle square. Its highlight is the excavated medieval castle's underground passages and defensive works, which you can walk through in dim stone tunnels. The permanent exhibition covers the Saar region's repeated changes of hands between Germany and France, two plebiscites, and the Nazi era. Temporary exhibitions are also held. It is closed on Mondays and open the other days from about 10:00 to 18:00. Tickets are required. It is next to the castle and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, so you can visit all three together.
