Wittelsbachermuseum, Aichach

The Wittelsbach Museum is an archaeological museum in the Swabian town of Aichach an der Paar in the district of Aichach-Friedberg. It is located in the Lower Gate, a gate tower of the late medieval Aichach city wall built around 1418. From 1989 to 2019, it housed a branch museum of the State Archaeological Collection. The museum got its name because of the extensive documentation on display there of Wittelsbach Castle, which was the ancestral seat of the Wittelsbach dynasty from the 12th to the beginning of the 13th century.

In 2019, the city of Aichach took over the museum. Now the gate tower houses an exhibition on archaeology in the city area on four floors. The exhibition focuses on the Grubet with its early medieval ore mining district and, above all, the excavations at the ancestral castle of the Wittelsbach dynasty in Oberwittelsbach.
