Erve Kots brings farm work to life

The Achterhoeks Openluchtmuseum combines historic farmhouses with an oil mill (rosoliemolen), sawmill and everyday objects from regional farming life.

Plan your visit ↗

Farmhouses as ensembles

Buildings, yard and layout belong together. See how living space, storage and workplace are divided before you study individual objects.

Power in mill and sawmill

The oil mill and sawmill make production processes visible. During a demonstration, ask which power source is used and which steps run from raw material to product.

Museum next to an inn

Restaurant Erve Kots is next to the museum but has different opening hours. In your planning, distinguish between the museum route and a visit to the restaurant, especially in winter, when the museum closes earlier.

Before you go

The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday and closes at 16:00 in the winter months; do not use the longer restaurant hours.
