My visit today around lunchtime...It's a very small museum, I find it very familiar and people always like to come back..
The staff is very nice and even without having to speak to the employees, they are just there...
I thought the Christmas exhibition was really nice.
I hope that the place will be preserved for a long time and I would like to thank you for the lovely visit this Sunday afternoon. For me, a nice break on a great sunny day.

Some sublime Gothic sculptures well-presented in a discretely stylish museum, plus worthwhile exhibits about the history of Chemnitz

The Chemnitz Museum of City History is located in one of the most beautiful and best-preserved monasteries in Saxony. The structure of the building that has been preserved comes from different construction phases: the Romanesque south apse still belongs to the founding building (around 1150), the early Gothic east wing to the oldest stone monastery building (1275), the south wing and the church to the late Gothic construction phase (1483–1539). In the years 1929–1931, the city of Chemnitz set up the city history museum in the old rooms of the monastery and castle, for which the name “Schloßbergmuseum” became established over the following decades. Since it was reopened in 1994/1995, the old monastery and castle building has once again housed the extensive collections of Chemnitz's city history, the most beautiful pieces of painting and sculpture, historical textiles, jewelry, furniture and everyday objects from the 12th to 20th centuries can be seen in the permanent exhibition are.*
Entry costs 6 euros. The first Friday of the month is free.
