Tour of the Frankeburg cultural monument | Opening dates 2026

The house at Steingasse 4 in Eppingen is one of the oldest half-timbered buildings in Eppingen and, as a cultural monument open to the public, is a little treasure trove of half-timbered architecture. Following several years of restoration, the house—popularly known as “Frankeburg”—is now open to the public as a cultural monument. Visitors can now discover the secrets of this floating gable house, built in 1457 from oak beams: here, architecture and tradition, aesthetic beauty, and a sense of materials come to life, bringing the past back to life, complemented by small exhibitions on life and daily routines in the late Middle Ages. ### Opening Dates 2026 Open from May through October on the first Sunday of every month from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM: May 3, 2026 | June 7, 2026 | July 5, 2026 | August 2, 2026 | September 6, 2026 | October 4, 2026 Guided tours for groups can be booked by appointment at [Tel: 07262 9201500](tel:+4972629201500), Email: [stadtfuehrungen@eppingen.de](mailto:stadtfuehrungen@eppingen.de) (Duration and cost of the tour to be arranged). ### Half-Timbered Town of Eppingen The [Half-Timbered Town of Eppingen](https://www.heilbronnerland.de/area/eppingen) is a true treasure trove of South German half-timbered architecture, offering **exceptional guided tours** and a diverse array of museums. The wooded areas of the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park begin right on the outskirts of town and invite visitors to go hiking and walking.
