Peacock

The Erich Schickling Stiftung

Coming down the road through the hamlet of Eggisried into the Günztal, you will see the white bell tower from afar, the landmark of the place. The road ends before the Günzbrücke, where Foundation visitors may park. Perhaps you will first be greeted by the free-roaming peacocks and pause at the sight of the Mediterranean-looking buildings and the park-like setting. Do take this plan to hand for orientation; it can also be found on site as a flyer.

The Erich Schickling Stiftung is reached on foot across the bridge to the west side of the Günz. For a visit to the exhibition rooms, registration is recommended! From the car park, the house chapel with its two stained glass windows may also be visited on your own, but with consideration for the residents.

Opening hours

Monday - Sunday, 10:00 - 18:00, preferably on request.
