Built on higher ground
The farmhouse stands on a terp, which makes its relationship to water and landscape visible. Look at the shape of the front house and barns before you examine the individual objects.
Room, box room and flood loft
Furnished living spaces show storage, sleeping and household life within a single building. The flood loft (waterzolder) is a striking feature; ask how this name and function are explained in this farmhouse.
Tools with signs of use
Agricultural and household objects gain meaning through their place in the story of the farmyard. Note wear and repairs, and avoid drawing conclusions about age without the object label.
Before you go
