Museum "Zum Pulvermacher"
The museum "Zum Pulvermacher" exhibits the history of Elsbethen and the region across three floors. The main focuses of the museum are: natural history, settlement history, crafts, the "village street," agrarian past, and the production of gunpowder.
A large collection of agricultural and handmade exhibits provides a deep insight into the working world of earlier years (e.g., a fully equipped shoemaker's workshop). The museum features a bakery where the museum bread is still baked today, as well as a fully equipped distillery.
Particularly worth seeing is a reconstructed water-powered gunpowder mixing and stamping mill, as well as interesting exhibits from the gunpowder makers.
Individual tours available upon request.
