Het Mikwe: Jewish heritage in Zaltbommel

Het Mikwe in Zaltbommel is a museum centred on a Jewish ritual bathhouse. The restored pools and display cases connect the space with the town’s Jewish community.

Plan your visit ↗

A space with a purpose

The pools form the concrete starting point. Have it explained what significance the bath has in the practice described, so that the visit goes beyond simply looking at the architectural form.

The community as well

The display cases provide additional material on Jewish Zaltbommel. See how objects and explanations connect the bathhouse with people, customs and the local surroundings.

Separate activities

Walks are also mentioned during special openings. Such an activity has its own schedule and is not automatically part of an ordinary Saturday afternoon at the museum.

Before you go

The regular opening is seasonal and limited to certain weekends. Outside those times, make an appointment, and check activities separately.
