Museum Bischofszell and event venue "Schniderbudig"

Where wealthy cloth merchants once resided, the Bischofszell Historical Museum now shows in over 20 rooms how the people of Bischofszell lived and worked over the last 500 years. There are celebrations in the Schniderbudig.

The Bischofszell Historical Museum welcomes guests in two stately patrician houses from the 18th century. They were once the homes of canvas merchants. Today, the museum shows how people lived in Bischofszell from the late Gothic period to the 20th century. In addition to domestic culture and the history of the town, there is a collection of ceramics and maps, a chemist's room and a pharmacy as it was in the old days. The toy collection from the 19th and 20th centuries also delights younger visitors. Refreshments with drinks and pastries are available in the coffee room - a bourgeois dining room from the 1920s. The museum's historic vaulted cellar and the adjoining inner courtyard with its baroque garden and the "Schniderbudig" cottage are now used for celebrations and meetings. More than 400 years ago, the Schniderbudig was a cloth house for the canvas trade. Today it is available for events and offers furniture for up to 70 people as well as a professional kitchen.
