Küefer-Martis-Huus
About This Museum
Tucked away in the northernmost and flattest part of Liechtenstein, the Küefer-Martis-Huus in Ruggell is a revelation. It doesn't feel like a stuffy repository of artifacts but rather a vibrant conversation with the past. The museum's soul is rooted in the unique history of Ruggell's marshlands and its people, from peat cutters to everyday villagers. You get a palpable sense of how this community shaped, and was shaped by, its distinctive landscape.
Collection Highlights
Step inside and you're greeted by an enormous, meticulously detailed scale model of Ruggell as it looked in 1950. Other exhibits breathe life into forgotten trades, showcasing the tools of the cooper (Küefer) and cartwright (Martis), while personal stories and photographs connect you directly to the individuals who lived here.
Visitor Information
Finding it is straightforward—head to Giessenstrasse 14. Given its local fame and stellar reputation, it's always a good idea to check their opening hours online before you make the trip to ensure you don't find the doors closed.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully preserved traditional house with a dark wooden facade and a steep, shingled roof, the building itself is a prime exhibit, perfectly embodying the local architectural character it seeks to celebrate.
