Het Regthuys: West Frisian heritage with an uncertain future

Het Regthuys in Abbekerk was a small regional museum with West Frisian clothing, everyday objects and toys. Since the foundation was wound up, whether the museum is currently open is uncertain.

A collection from the region

The former presentation consisted of antiquities and curiosities, with a changing annual theme. Clothing and needlework offered a way into daily life. This description belongs to the earlier museum and does not guarantee a current exhibition.

A building in transition

According to local historical information, the former courthouse (rechthuis) and town hall is being given a new purpose under a different foundation. What this means for the collection and public visits has not yet been clearly confirmed.

Old summer hours still listed

Tourist pages still mention weekend afternoons from May to October. That information conflicts with the change of organisation and purpose. So do not use an old timetable to plan a trip; first ask whether there is actually any museum activity.

Before you go

Museum opening uncertain since the foundation was wound up; old weekend hours are not confirmed.
