The location is a bot odd, at the trail entrance to the Rappenlochsluft, near an old (being refurbished) factrory and an a really old Gasthaus. Really, if you really like to too at Rolls Royce cars, you might spend an hour or two. For the average visitor, look through the windows because thats about what you will get out of the visit.
Nice collection on 3 levels. At least 100 cars, most of them from the 1920-1950 decades. Most of the cars are nicely renovated, but some of them are under renovation. My only concern is: they want to show too many too similar cars, and at the end of the visit it's impossible to recall what beauties you really met with.
This guy clearly loves his Rolls Royces. The museum contains dozens of mainly 1920s & 1930's examples packed in to a three storey warehouse. Some of the cars are works in progress & the second floor contains the more presentable examples. Both my wife and I enjoyed walking around the cars, but I did find that they were not very well indexed to the English guide that we had, making it difficult to determine the type and history of each car. Also, while the viewer can get very close to the vehicles, the cars are too tightly packed together to be able to get a good view of them. On the third floor there is a display of Rolls-Royce bric a brac. Overall worth a visit if you have more than a passing interest in cars.
We really like the sheer number of old (mostly 1930s and older) Rolls Royces. The entry fee and photography fee were a little high, although you do get a poster with the photo fee. There is very little documentation on the vehicles, so it's hard to know what is distinctive about each one. Also, I understand the need to protect the cars, but after I'd paid my photography fee I found I couldn't get close enough to most of them to get good pix.
This is a wonderful museum and is apparently the biggest Rolls Royce museum in the world, so I'm not sure why it is here. When you walk in, after the wow factor declines it becomes a case of ground hog day. The cars are beautifully maintained and presented but they are parked side by side so you can't even stick your head in through many of the windows. Most vehicles are from the mid 1920s which is testament to the owners commitment to their preservation however it could be well complimented with a wider variety of aged vehicles. Still worth a visit but if it is out of your way, weigh up the odds. The charge 10 euros to take photos which is a bit steep.
some interpretation would have been helpful, it's bumper to bumper in there. a lot of multiplesI need 100 characters but I don't have any more to say!
if you are a rolls Royce fan then this is a MUST as there are masses of fully restored and not so fully restored cars, there is a work shop on site, there are also a few old motorbikes on show. stop for lunch or a drink next door, especially if you have walked up from the town . then walk up to the gorge
nous y sommes allé de bonheur le matin, très peu de visiteurs, et c'est aussi bien car l'espace manque autour de ces merveilles.Dommage aussi qu'il faille mettre la main au porte monnaie pour pouvoir faire des photos, mais, en contre-partie, on nous donne un poster...La présentation est assez austère, et comme je le disais, les voitures sont très proches les une des autres. Par contre, les autos sont superbes, certaines restaurées, d'autres dans leur "jus", l'amateur de voitures (comme moi) appréciera. le musée s'étend sur 3 étages, et ne montre pas que des voitures, mais un peu de l'univers Rolls-Royce: vaisselle, argenterie, bagages, verres et carafes en cristal, ainsi que quelques motos anciennes et surtout une partie de l'atelier de restauration ou, nous pouvons voir des employés s'affairer sur des moteurs ou des carrosserie en cours de rénovations. Alors, amateurs de belles mécaniques, n'ésitez pas, vous ne serez pas décus ....
If you like old cars, excelent, however if you like luxury cars better go elsewhere. There is a lot of Rolls-Royce but quite nothing about the history of the brand or any of the exposed cars. Could be interesting but it fails as a museum. Ah, you can not take any photo...
It was raining, so we wanted to do something different. We picked up a flyer on the Rolls-Royce Museum and went. It was like a huge storage room of amazing cars, but there was little or no explanation on each car. There is a place to watch the workers restoring the cars, but they weren't there when we went. It didn't take long to go through because of lack of explanation of each car. On the other hand, I enjoyed seeing all the changes in the years and who owned some of the cars. Not sure I would recommend this unless you are really understand the Rolls-Royce.
