Properties:
In the middle of the village of Oberhundem, you will find the listed pastorate dating back to 1685, the lovingly restored heart of which has housed the Sauerland's only embroidery museum since 1981. The historic rooms, in which a fireplace provides warmth in winter, form a charming contrast to the fine hand embroidery with their rustic brickwork
: paraments, Wissen, wafer-thin shadow embroidery... Anyone who takes a closer look and wants to learn a little about these and many other techniques will recognize the art and patience of this ancient craft. During a guided tour, the visitor learns one or two stories behind the embroidery, such as that of the small, hidden message of a girl in her sampler from 1780, embroidered with her own hair. It is important to us to preserve and pass on this centuries-old art and the knowledge of the craft.
Master workshop for framing in Sauerland
Since 1988, picture frames, passe-partouts and mirrors have been made to measure in the premises of the house.
There are over 600 profiles to choose from. Ready-made removable frames of various sizes are in stock in our workshop. We are also Germany's leading supplier of embroidery frames.
If you browse through the museum shop, you will find pretty gifts, products to design yourself, felt cuttings, woven ribbons and all the accessories you need for embroidery: embroidery threads, instructions, linen, embroidery packs and much more. We are happy to provide advice; this is where traditional craftsmanship meets modern embroidery
. Would you like to visit us? We offer guided tours by (prior) arrangement and are also open on public holidays or weekends.
