The stone sculpture museum of the Fondation Kubach-Wilmsen is an architectural highlight, located directly at the foot of the imposing Rotenfels. Japanese architect Tadao Ando has created a unique building here by framing a historic 18th-century timber-framed barn within a modern, minimalist structure of glass and exposed concrete. This fusion of old and new provides the setting for the impressive stone sculptures by the artist couple Anna Kubach-Wilmsen and Wolfgang Kubach. Indoors and in the expansive open-air sculpture park, the works engage in a direct dialogue with nature and the monumental rock face in the background. The museum is considered a significant center for contemporary stone sculpture and attracts both architecture and art enthusiasts alike.
