Oberdorff's Lorraine house, transformed into a museum of collections, arts and traditions in 1991.
In the heart of a hamlet surrounded by greenery, the Lorraine house faces the charming village fountain. Its history dates back to the th century. Originally, it was a former farm that belonged to the monks of the order of Chartreux de Rettel. Purchased in 1978 by Marie-Rose Stallknecht, this building was restored and transformed into Museum of Collections, Arts and Traditions, before opening its doors to the public in 1991. The mistress of the places is a high-colour character, a passionate collector born with "old stone disease", that is, the passion of old objects! The interior of a traditional Lorraine house is faithfully reconstructed, with the admirable vaulted room and its stone pillar (th century). For 40 years, Marie-Rose has accumulated thousands of typical Lorraine objects used by our ancestors on a daily basis. His son, for his part, mastered the art of metalwork with talent. Throughout a rewarding guided tour, discover a thousand and a plot of collectors: Lorraine tiles, rosaries, giant fonts, porcelain dolls, nativity (including the mémé of Provence, the favorite of Marie-Rose!), paintings under glass, costumes, caps and hats, antique photographs, plates (or contrecoeurs) and so many other typical furniture from the Country of Nied… Because Marie-Rose will tell you, normal people never do anything abnormal. Welcome to an authentic house of exception!
