What travellers are saying
- John PSimpsonville, SC174 contributionsWe knew the Thimble Museum didn't open until 10am, and found out when we arrived that the church doesn't open for tours until 9:30am, but the lady there let us in around 9:15. We walked around the church, checking out all the unusual and mostly old tombstones on both sides of the church. This church is world famous for its Marienaltar or Altar of the Virgin Mary. It was very impressive, being carved out of wood, standing 33 foot tool and very intricate, well worth the stop and the 2 Euros entry fee. There were several other large altar-like decorations, and the floor had intricately carved stones, some with ancient lettering.Written 21 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SuziQinTexasDallas, TX568 contributionsI wasn't expecting to visit this museum but once I saw it, decided I had to go in and look around. I found it very interesting and not your ordinary look at daily life.Written 5 October 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- folieske4Antwerp, Belgium7,285 contributionsThe museum is not opened during the timeframe given. One has to klig the bell, helas, sometimes without electricity, so it often doies not work. The info tableau mentions to go to the white house (over the bridge, at the mountain) but in august 2010 the house was painted pink. One can call via a cellphonenumber, but as one is in a valey, there is no reach. Stand with your back against the church/museum, you face oposite a stairs. Climb them, and it is said one has reach overthere. Or better: make an appointment before leaving on holiday. Forearmed is forwarned. All in all it took us more than 30 minutes to search for the white (pink) house. Discription of the monasterychurch / museum: near Creglingen in the valley of the Steinach, there was once an isolated Cistercian nunnery, a foundation bequeathed by the landlords Konrad and Gottfried of Hohenlohe-Brauneck in 1232. The building was constructed in the form of an upper and lower church, which resulted in the uncommonly good acoustics for which the church is famous. The convent went into decline during the reformation and was partly destroyed during the peasants‘ revolt in the 16th century. The exhibition “From convent to village” shows how the village of Frauental slowly developed. Notable in the church: the division of the construction into an upper and lower church / Ribbed vaulting in the lower church / Baroque baptismal font; tomb slabs, arch above the altar / crypt where mummies were found (now just the coffins remain).Written 30 September 2010This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbywonSydney, Australia11,904 contributionsCalled here at the end (almost literally) of Day 6 of my Romantic Road walk. Photographed external and listened to the bells from my hotel but the interior was not viewed due to locked doors.Written 24 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- folieske4Antwerp, Belgium7,285 contributionsWe intended only to see the castle and have our picknick there. We then decided to see the museum as well. We did not regret it. The museum is not open. One clings a bell and an inhabitant of Waldmannshofen arrives within 5 minutes to open the door. Several floors are packed with all regarding firabrigade etc. The museum is housed in a former moated castle. It documents the history of fire fighting technology during the last 200 years: fire pumps, international collection of firemen’s helmets, stamps with fire fighting themes, fire fighting equipment, etc.Written 5 October 2010This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
