Museums in Lohr

The School Museum in Lohr is famous well beyond the surrounding region. It is one of the most attractive museums of its type. Some 3000 exhibits give insights into learning and teaching as they were in imperial times and in schools during the Third Reich. Here you can take a fascinating journey back in time.

In the heart of the Old Town, Lohr Castle now houses the Spessart Museum. Here you can expect to meet Snow White herself – and lurking in the cellar, there are Spess­art highwaymen ready to pounce on visitors! The desperate poverty experienced by the former inhabitants of the Spessart forest is an important theme here, as is the forest itself as an economic factor. The delicate works of art and surprisingly solid utensils in the glass collection are also well worth seeing.

This unique private collection comprises more than 600 insulators from 40 different countries. Probably the smallest museum in the world, it measures just 2.5 m² per floor. The museum’s curator will be there to greet you personally, and can tell you all sorts of fascinating facts to do with high voltage power.
