Wilhelmietenmuseum: monastic history in galleries

The Wilhelmietenmuseum in Huijbergen focuses on the Guillelmites (Wilhelmieten) and the Broeders van Huijbergen (Brothers of Huijbergen). The presentation in the gatehouse combines various subjects from the monastic setting and the communities involved.

Plan your visit ↗

Two storylines

The Guillelmite Wing and the Congregation Wing offer different perspectives. As you move from one to the other, read which community and activities the presentation covers, so that their stories do not become mixed up.

Daily work

Subjects such as the brewery, tithe barn and farm kitchen bring practical activities into view. The explanations help you understand how such elements fit within the monastic world shown.

The building too

The gatehouse gives the collection its own setting. Look at the relationship between space and presentation without attributing every visible architectural feature directly to a single historical period.

Before you go

Sunday opening is mentioned during the season; outside it, an appointment is needed. There is no museum café or restaurant, so plan any break separately and discuss accessibility in advance.
