堅田観光の拠点、湖族の郷資料館。浮御堂から徒歩5分です。
湖族とは、吉川英治の「新・平家物語」に出てくる言葉で、中世に琵琶湖の水運を支配した堅田衆のことを言います。
外にかかっているのは大津絵で、「鬼の念仏」と呼ばれるジャンルのもの。
ごらんのとおり、資料館には町屋がそのまま利用されており、一階では、堅田のおみやげを買うことができます。
珍しいおみやげに、「堅田時報」なんていかがですか?
大正から昭和にかけての町内新聞の復刻版です。なかなか面白い本ですよ。

河口には造船所と堅田なぎさ運動公園があり、釣りの場所にもなっています。

11世紀後半(平安時代末期)、堅田の地は京都の下鴨神社の神領となりました。神田神社のもとに御厨が置かれて、加茂社への供膳・供祭のための魚介類を献上する責務を負ったのです。その見返りとして、堅田は琵琶湖の漁業や運行などあらゆる権益を得て、中世に琵琶湖最大の町を築くこととなります。
例年、京都の葵祭りの前日に当たる5月14日には、神田神社を出発して、鮒を下鴨神社に届ける「献饌供御人行列」が、古式ゆかしく行われています。
