    The tithe barn, built around 1738, was used to store the farmers' contributions in kind, which were to be paid as taxes or "Zent" (the tenth part). The size of the building shows the large amounts of taxes that the farmers had to pay.

    A major fire in 1799 completely destroyed this building.

    It was rebuilt as a museum between 1979 and 1982.

    The much-visited Musikantenlandmuseum has found its home here.

    🎶 Tithe Barn & Musicians' Land Museum – A Sound of History

    The unique Palatinate Musicians' Land Museum is located in the historic tithe barn of Lichtenberg Castle. It impressively tells the story of the itinerant musicians who once traveled from here to all over the world.

    Tip: The exhibition combines a sense of home with a musical journey around the world – absolutely worth seeing!
