How did Rhön farmers live between 1850 and 1950? In the baroque fruit store (1692) of the castle complex, the folklore museum provides information. In direct contrast to the count's living quarters, which can be visited in the neighbouring Count Luxburg Museum, the interior of a parlour vividly illustrates the life of the rural population, their living and farming, eating and drinking, their clothing and costumes.
The school museum and the Graf-Luxburg-Museum (Count Luxburg Museum) as well as the castle park complete the museum visit at Aschach Castle.
