Museum Schloss Fechenbach

Dieburg, Germany, Germany

---

Museum Schloss Fechenbach in Dieburg, Germany, occupies a Baroque town palace originally built in 1717 on Renaissance foundations for the Ulner von Dieburg family, later redesigned in neoclassical style around 1860 by the Barons of Fechenbach who gave it its name.

Since 1951, this cultural hub has housed the Dieburg District and City Museum, showcasing archaeological treasures from prehistoric times through Roman eras—including the star attraction, a rotatable 2nd-century Mithras cult statue discovered in 1926 that inspired its founding—to medieval pottery guilds and 20th-century folk artifacts expanded by the Bachgau Museum merger.

Interactive exhibits with multimedia displays, models like recreated Mithraea, and family programs bring local history alive amid a central café, open Tuesday-Sunday afternoons near Dieburg's market square.
