The museum is located in an old warehouse built in 1626 by the Duke’s governor. The people of Friedrichtsstadt believed they would be granted the right to mint coins, so they named the house “Münze” (coin). The museum focuses on the founding of the town, the religious communities who lived in Friedrichstadt, and everyday life.
