Museum Vechta
The Museum im Zeughaus awaits you in the center of the former citadel of Vechta. On three barrier-free floors, the old building offers fascinating insights into different eras - from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages and the Thirty Years' War to the recent past, when the building served as a prison. Numerous hands-on exhibits make the visit a unique experience.
The Castrum Vechtense, the ideal reconstruction of a medieval castle complex, is located in the middle of the Vechta Citadel Park. In the walk-in castle tower, you can discover many things that were part of everyday life in the 11th/12th century. Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages here alone or with your family.
