Lihula Museum is located in the Lihula Manor house built by the Wistinghausen family in 1840.

Three permanent exhibitions are open in Lihula Manor. The new permanent exhibition is dedicated to the Germans who linked Estonia’s history with Europe and became part of the local people, started calling themselves Baltic Germans since the 18th century, and lost their Baltic homeland in World War II.
The museum gives an overview of the history of Lihula and the southern part of Läänemaa, including the archaeological studies of the Lihula Stronghold. The museum exhibitions display also local Läänemaa ethnographical items like national costumes of the Lihula area, flower embroidery carpets, sled blankets, and tools.
