Museum Starnberger See

Bavaria


You may have to duck your head when touring this 400-year-old farmhouse that offers a glimpse of life on the lake as it once was. It also boasts a precious Ignaz Günther sculpture in the little chapel. The modern extension showcases a fancy royal barge and a section on its construction.
