Ballenberg - Open-air museum of Switzerland

Ballenberg, Freilichtmuseum der Schweiz, Hofstetten b. Brienz

A museum full of life.

Over 100 residential and farm buildings from all over Switzerland can be discovered and marveled at in the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum. The stately farmhouses, the modest buildings of the day laborers, the alpine settlements or the stables, barns, granaries, wash houses and drying ovens illustrate the everyday life and rural culture of past times as architectural and socio-historical witnesses.

The historic buildings could not be preserved in their original location and were therefore carefully dismantled and rebuilt on the 66-hectare museum site. Kitchens, chambers and living rooms provide an insight into everyday rural life in Switzerland.
