Museum fur Bergedorf und die Vierlande

The museum of Bergedorf and the Vierlande was opened in Bergedorf castle in 1955. It is a branch of the Museum of Hamburg's History and is concerned with the cultural history of Bergedorf, some prehistoric finds from the surrounding marshlands, and examples of the Vierlande's crafts. Apart from beautiful intarsia furniture, weapons and tools, the Landherrenzimmer is worth seeing. At the beginning of the 20th Century it was used as a court by the leading figures in the area. The museum's biggest exhibit is the former castle itself. The city of Hamburg bought the community of Bergedorf in 1867 and incorporated it in 1938. The art nouveau cafe Moller is part of the castle, and it is open from 1p-6p on Sundays.
