The old Franconian farmstead Lerchennest from the early 17th century is home to a special feature in the German museum landscape: the only museum dedicated specifically to Frederick the Great (1712-1786), commemorating his attempted escape as an 18-year-old crown prince in 1730.

In vivid documentation, visitors learn interesting facts about Frederick's life and work, as well as the reasons why he wanted to flee. In addition, regular special exhibitions address cultural-historical topics and agricultural equipment is on display in the outbuildings.
