Discover the hidden treasures of your city - Open Monument Day

On September 8, 2024, it's that time again - Open Monument Day invites you to discover the hidden treasures of your city. This annual day of action offers you the unique opportunity to explore buildings, places and monuments that are otherwise closed to the public.

Discover cultural heritage

The Open Monument Day was launched in 1993 by the German Foundation for Monument Protection to focus on the importance of our cultural heritage. On this special day, historic buildings, castles, churches and other sights open their doors to interested visitors. Expert guided tours give you exciting insights into the history and architecture of these places.

Tradition and modernity in harmony

In addition to the well-known monuments, there are also many hidden treasures to discover. Often, behind inconspicuous facades, there are real architectural gems that are worth exploring. The Open Monument Day shows how tradition and modernity can work together harmoniously - historic buildings are lovingly restored and preserved for the future.
