Regional museum

Lots of interesting facts about the potato

Next to a centuries-old oak tree is the approx. 150-year-old potato barn in Brillit, which has been renovated and converted into a potato museum.

The exhibits include agricultural machinery used for potato cultivation in the post-war years, such as potato planters and harvesters and a sorting machine. There are also potato-related household appliances and other potato-related documentation on display.
