Special exhibition at Rheinfels Castle Museum: “The Disciples of Hubertus” – The depiction of hunting in medieval book art

In collaboration with the Peregrini Arnstein Association, Rheinfels Castle Museum is showing impressive facsimiles of medieval manuscripts. The focus is on the magnificently illustrated scenes from the famous “Le Livre de la Chasse” by Gaston Phoebus III (1331-1391), one of the most important hunting books of the time.

The official opening of the exhibition will take place on Friday, October 3 at 6 p.m. in the vaulted cellar. The introductory lecture will be given by Oliver Täufer M.A., who will present the life and work of Gaston Phoebus and his hunting book. Visitors can then view the exhibition daily during the museum's regular opening hours (10:00-17:30). From November, the castle and museum will only be open from Fridays to Sundays.

Finally, on Sunday, November 16 at 4:00 p.m., Oliver Täufer once again invites you to an exciting lecture. This time he will focus on the “Hunting Book of King Modus”. Both events will be musically accompanied by hunting motifs.

A special highlight awaits guests on Friday, October 17 at 6:00 p.m.: falconer Ilona Ciesielski M.A. will present the legendary falcon book of Emperor Frederick II and bring along a live hunting falcon to illustrate it.

Admission to the exhibition is included in the castle ticket. Participation in the evening lectures is free of charge.
