Museum for literature and music in Kashubia located in the castle Keyserlingk of former Neustadt Wejherowo Palace, North Kashubia, Poland

The German von Keyserlingk family built the palace around 1800. In 1995, it became the Museum of Kashubian-Pomeranian Literature and Music, which upholds and presents the culture and traditions of the Kashubians, who are the native ethnic group. A special feature of the exhibition is the common cultural heritage of the South Baltic countries down the centuries, such as the symbolic and heraldic use of the griffin.

The Museum of Kashubian-Pomeranian Literature and Music in Wejherowo is a highly recognized institution with a successful program of education and exhibitions on Kashubian culture – such as literature, music and crafts. They work on a constantly growing spectrum of activities. In the area of interest, apart from titular ones in the field of literature and music, there are also art, theatre and new forms of communication. The overall development of the facility is dedicated to the implementation of research related to the broadly culture of Kashubia, Pomerania and the area of the southern Baltic. The Baltic Manor history showcase presents selected elements from the history of Pomerania in the region from Rostock to Gdańsk from the Middle Ages to the present day, as well as the cultural connections between music, art and iterature of this region with the countries of the Baltic Sea Region. The theme of the exhibition is the figure of a mythological creature – the griffin, present among others in the heraldry and art of the Baltic States since the Middle Ages.
