The toy museum in the Old Sugenheim Castle (a private museum owned by the Kube family) celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013. It was opened at Easter 1988, then in four rooms. Today the toy museum is housed in twelve rooms of the Old Castle in Sugenheim and shows over 2,500 dolls and toys of all kinds from the middle of the 18th century to the 1960s in its permanent exhibition.

After renovations, the current main building of the castle dates back to the early 19th century. The magnificent castle stood empty for 150 years, then Jan and Manuela Kube acquired it and renovated it carefully and in accordance with the preservation of the monument before opening the extensive and worth seeing toy museum in 1988. Very worth seeing, because dolls, doll houses and kitchens, rocking horses, tin toys, games, children's books and tin figures bring back nostalgic memories from children's rooms of bygone eras. The opulent Renaissance hall and the house chapel can also be visited.
Opening times: From Good Friday to 1st Advent on Saturdays,
Sundays and public holidays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Special openings are possible at any time for registered groups of 15 or more people.
Children under 6 free

For families with children: A good place for a break with a snack is the large, beautiful playground in the Ehegrund, which is somewhat hidden: the inn on the right, the entrance
Follow the road for about 200 m to the castle on the left, then turn right to the well-equipped playground with snack benches and numerous play equipment next to the Ehe river.

A perfect stopover is possible at the “Ehegrund” inn. Local beer and wine are equally good. The baked carp is legendary. Outdoor tables.
