Archaeological Open-Air Museum Groß Raden

Museum Sternberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

What to expect

The Archaeological Open-Air Museum Groß Raden is a great place for families to learn about the history and culture of the Slavic people. The museum is located on a peninsula near the Groß Radener See and features a reconstructed Slavic settlement from the 9th and 10th centuries. The settlement includes a circular rampart with a diameter of 50 meters, which was rebuilt based on the findings of extensive excavations. Visitors can explore the reconstructed buildings and learn about the daily life of the Slavic people during that time period. The museum also offers a glimpse into the history of the region, with nearby Burganlagen, such as the Sternberger Burg and the Burg von Groß Görnow, showcasing the development of Slavic settlements in the area
