The call of a cuckoo resounds in the silence, the delicate, bright tones of a carillon can be heard from another room: every hour on the hour, the bright, light-flooded corridors of the monastery museum in St. Märgen can become a little louder. It is a journey into clockland that awaits visitors here. This is because one of the focal points of the exhibition is an extensive collection of Black Forest clocks. Although the journey to clock country takes you back in time, this does not mean that the museum is backward-looking: "Our museum is intended to build a bridge to the future in order to preserve and strengthen living spaces and communities - the municipality of St. Märgen and the monastery museum stand for realizing these ideas," says St. Märgen's mayor Manfred Kreutz.
