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.
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.
