About

Quick facts: Visitors can stroll through alive scenes of daily 19th-century village life with actors in period costumes bringing stories to life. Over 40 original buildings, from a bakery to a blacksmith shop, line the charming streets.

Highlights: Catch the dramatic horse-drawn carriage rides that clatter over authentic cobblestones, echoing sounds of the era. Artisan workshops offer hands-on craft demonstrations, like candle making, that truly immerse you in the past.

Insider tips

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes; cobblestones can be uneven and weather dependent.
  • Bring a camera for detailed shots of vintage signage and craftspeople at work.
  • Skip the midday hours if you want to avoid larger tour groups and enjoy quieter exhibits.
  • Visit the bakery early for freshly made bread samples on certain days.
