Raethuys Bergh: local history, two hours on Thursdays

The old town hall is mainly a documentation and meeting place for the local history society, with a library and regional archaeological finds.

Plan your visit ↗

Library of the Land van Bergh

Standard works and local publications support focused research. Bring a family name, building or place, and ask where the inventory and index begin.

Finds from the region

Archaeological objects give tangible points of reference. Read the find location and context; a single fragment does not by itself prove a complete historical story.

Town hall as a workplace

The wedding room and rentable spaces show that the building has more functions than just a museum. The Thursday morning hour is more of a drop-in consultation hour than broad exhibition time.

Before you go

No classic museum schedule. Only open on Thursday for two hours, and closed on public holidays; call in advance if you want to consult specific items.
