Maribo Open-Air Museum
Step back in time and experience the history of Lolland-Falster at De Gamle Huse, an open-air museum in the heart of Maribo Lakes Nature Park.
Travel 200 years into the past and discover rural life in the 19th century when you visit De Gamle Huse Open-Air Museum.
Here, you can explore authentic thatched timber-framed houses from Lolland-Falster and gain insight into how ordinary people lived and worked in the past. With original artifacts and small recreated scenes, everyday life comes alive before your eyes.
The museum is not just a journey through time but a sensory experience. Explore the lives of the farmer, tenant, priest, schoolteacher, and blacksmith. You can also try traditional village games or challenge yourself and your family with the Open-Air Quiz.
