Building \/ plot situation<\/h3>\n

The museum is located in the historic centre of the village, right next to the towerless neoclassical village church. Most of the exhibition is located in the rooms of the school building, which was built in 1875. The old parish barn has been converted into another museum building in keeping with its listed status. In the neighbouring stables, which, like the barn, date back to the first half of the 19th century, there are four further exhibition rooms. These give visitors an insight into everyday farming activities such as washing, churning butter, stockpiling and flax processing.<\/p>\n

Characteristics<\/h3>\n

The Wendish-German museum of local history is located in the centre of the village. The exhibition is dedicated to the rural life of the Wendish and German population. The history of the village is brought to life with the help of farm furniture and domestic utensils. Small-scale farming technology and tools of the trade are on display. Of course, history is also illustrated here with photos, documents and certificates. The exhibits are shown as a display collection on 560 square metres. Another museum object is the parish barn opposite, which has been renovated in recent years in keeping with its listed status. The parish barn houses a gem of the local history museum: one of the last remaining funeral carriages in the region. There is also a fully functional loom. A collection of ceramics includes household vessels and artefacts from the last 300 years. The museum is consistently labelled bilingually in Wendish and German. The traditional J\u00e4nschwald costume is presented in all its facets. The museum has made a great contribution to the J\u00e4nschwald Christ Child, the \"Jan\u0161ojski bog\". This figure is part of a regional pre-Christmas custom that has only survived to the present day in the municipality of J\u00e4nschwalde.
\nThe museum also offers a digital experience: With the help of 360\u00b0 VR glasses, you can immerse yourself in the documentary film \"From flax stalk to linen wall\" and go right into the middle of flax processing 100 years ago.<\/p>\n
