The Écomusée d’Alsace is an open-air museum near Ungersheim. This is the largest open-air museum in France and is included in the list of Musées de France by the French Ministry of Culture. The museum opened on June 1, 1984 and at the time had around 20 rebuilt village houses. Today, 72 buildings from the 15th to 21st centuries can be admired here, which previously stood elsewhere, had to be demolished there and were rebuilt here. They were thus saved from planned destruction by the sponsoring association. The buildings include a bakery, a pottery and other craftsmen's houses, a school, a stone tower house and several farms and half-timbered houses as well as barns and stables. It is an extremely lively museum that shows the life of people in the village and the countryside in an excellent way: their jobs, their everyday lives, their way of life and their environment. Visitors are immersed in the world of that time. The museum was created from efforts in the 1970s to preserve traditional rural buildings in southern Alsace by restoring buildings threatened with demolition. In 1971, the "Alsatian Half-Timbered Houses" association was founded. Several buildings that could not be preserved at their location were dismantled by the association and, since 1980, rebuilt on land provided by the municipality of Ungersheim (former dry mining wasteland that had been burned by potash salts). The current museum was opened here with around 20 buildings. In addition, the entire area was designed in a very diverse village style. In addition, several tens of thousands of exhibits were used as gifts for a highly interesting and very vivid presentation in and around the houses. A visit with a detailed tour is absolutely worthwhile and highly recommended!!
