Intro
The museum of local history gives an insight into the life, culture and history of the Küssnacht am Rigi region.
The local history museum provides an insight into the life and history of the Küssnacht am Rigi region. Prehistoric finds, chief and land owners in the Middle Ages, cantonal separation in 1831 are presented as well as events from more recent times, e.g. the project of a balloon railroad from Immensee to the Rigi or the tragic accident of the Belgian Queen Astrid in 1935. The two best-known folk customs are presented very impressively in an audio-visual show: The Klausjagen and the Sennenchilbi, which takes place every six years.
The museum of local history is located in Unterdorf, in the center of Küssnacht am Rigi, right next to the tower of the Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul. The Historical Society of Küssnacht am Rigi supports and maintains the museum. The local history museum was opened in 1951 and expanded in 1985. The museum is a meeting place for people interested in history, families, students and tourists. With careful representations the past time of the region becomes alive again in the consciousness and stimulates thoughts.
