This is the open-air museum Stade (and not the city center). Please rename titles, otherwise this is misleading.

A collection of historical buildings from the region has stood on a small island in Stade since 1914. The focus is the replica of a Geest farmhouse from Himmelspforten from 1641, which is used as a restaurant. A walk across the island also takes visitors to a fully furnished Old Country farmhouse from 1733 with a bakery, grist mill and a coach house, the shelter for wagons. Numerous agricultural implements from past centuries, beehives and a post mill between old trees complete the journey through time.

The museum is one of the oldest open-air museums in Lower Saxony, because as early as 1912 a farmhouse from 1841 was moved from Varrel to Stade and served as an island farm. After a fire in 1913, it was rebuilt in 1914 - together with the newly acquired Altländer house. However, the Inselhaus burned down again in 1992 and was replaced by today's replica of the Geestbauernhaus.

The island is a small but fine open-air museum. With the ticket you can also visit the museum in the Schwedenhaus. Both are very worthwhile.

A wonderful museum, a visit is highly recommended. The restaurant across the street has a great atmosphere. Everything is delicious there, and in the summer there's a lovely café garden.

The open-air museum on the island on the Bleicher-Ravelin in Stade, built in 1692, is one of the oldest freely accessible open-air museums in Germany.
The Altländer Haus is a marsh farmhouse from 1733 from Huttfleth in the Altes Land.
It was acquired by the Stade History and Local History Association in 1913 and rebuilt on the island from 1913 to 1914.
It is a practice house with a hallway, floor and chamber part.
It has a richly decorated, three-protruded gable with colored stone masonry.
The house can be viewed in the summer months for a small fee.

The Stade Open-Air Museum is located on an island in the middle of Stade. There's something very special to marvel at here: entire houses and other structures that have been relocated. They were simply dismantled from their previous location and rebuilt on the island many years ago. You can walk around the island, go inside the houses, and admire the rooms and furnishings in their true-to-life size.

The Altländer Farmhouse is particularly beautiful. It shows how people used to live: The beds are made, the table is set, and the clothes are in the closet. Everything looks completely different from what we know today. In front of the house stands the Altländer Ornate Gate. It is a symbol of the wealth of the residents; it's quite large and richly decorated, artfully carved and brightly painted.

The tools farmers used in the past can be seen around the farmhouse. There are a gristmill, a horse-powered treadmill, and a stone oven. The approximately five-meter-tall windmill is particularly impressive. It's over 300 years old.
