Füssen is a town in Bavaria, Germany, in the district of Ostallgäu (East Allgäu), situated one kilometre from the Austrian border. The town is known for violin manufacturing. The castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau are located nearby. Füssen is located on the banks of the Lech River, which flows into the Forggensee.

The High Castle (German: Hohes Schloss), 13th-16th century, is the former summer residence of the prince-bishops of Augsburg. It houses a branch gallery of the Bavarian State Collections of Paintings, which focuses on late Gothic and Renaissance works of art.

St. Mang's Abbey (German: Kloster Sankt Mang Füssen) was a Benedictine monastery, below the Hohes Schloss, founded in the 9th century and dissolved during the post-Napoleonic secularisation of Bavaria.

The Museum of Füssen is located in the southwest wing of the former Benedictine monastery of St. Mang, which was built in the early 18th century under the architect Johann Jakob Herkomer after Venetian model. The museum displays the history of the abbey and the town, particularly of the traditional manufacture of lutes and violins in Füssen. It is also possible to view the Baroque reception rooms of the abbey in the museum.
