Hus-Haus was Jan Hus' home until his arrest in 1414. The half-timbered mansion museum tells about the life and ideas of the key figure in the Czech Reformation. A visit to Pfahlbauten Unteruhldingen feels like a journey a few thousand years back into the past. Settlements of this age have been found near Lake Constance during archaeological excavations over the past 150 years. Pile wooden houses typical of the Alpine terrain, recreated exteriors and interiors, wooden bridges - once you see such beauty, you won't be able to pass by. By the way, the museum is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The history of Konstanz' most important natural sight and its surrounding area - of course, this is about Lake Constance - can be learned in a specialized museum - Seemuseum.
Burg Meersburg, one of the oldest castles in Germany, is worth a visit as well. The first mention of the ancient 7th-century building dates back to 1147. In the castle museum, one can see antique furniture, ancient household items, weapons, works of art dating back to the Middle Ages. One of the main rooms in the museum is a torture chamber, and on the very top of the tower, one can find a great observation deck. In addition to Burg Meersburg, the Neues Schloss Meersburg can be found in the city - a baroque building from the 18th century known as a former residence of the Prince-Bishop of Constance.
