Schweizer Hof mit Deutschem Schutzengelmuseum

Beschreibung

Historical building data shows that the building as it is today was built in 1707, in the period of reconstruction following the city fire in 1689. In medieval times Bretten’s tithe house belonged to the wealthy convent of Frauenalb located here. The enormous cellar vaults below the Schweizer Hof were built in the same era and are themselves very interesting. From 1997 to 2001, the Schweizer Hof was restored by the citizens’ initiative for local and cultural heritage on a voluntary basis. On two floors the Deutsche Schutzengelmuseum shows approximately 300 exhibits about guardian angels and also guardian spirits. Since 2002 the Schweizer Hof houses the museum of local and regional history of Bretten.
