Museum at the market
The museum in the market square portrays an overall view of the history of this small town, with some fine examples that characterise the town. A certain chronological order is followed while walking through this typical Schiltach three story "Ackerbürgerhaus" (merchant's house).Schiltach's history of ruling powers beginning in the 13th century, is illustrated by the decline of Schiltach castle and the excavations at Willenburg. The excavations revealed many technical aspects that were needed to perform this type of construction.One of the numerous fires that broke out before the reformation in the 16th century, and was supposedly caused by a woman accused of witchcraft, is presented here in the form of a play in sound and vision. It is performed in the local Swabian dialect as would have been customary in this town under Württemberg rule up to 1810.
