Het Sterkenhuis: Bergen through clothing, household goods and stories

Museum Het Sterkenhuis in Bergen is housed in a historic longhouse farm. The museum covers farming life and village history with objects that are close to everyday use.

Plan your visit ↗

A domestic collection

Furniture, household items, silver and porcelain offer different ways into the interior. Look not only at the striking pieces, but also at ordinary everyday objects. Ask how they are connected with Bergen or the people of the area.

Clothing and village stories

Traditional dress and topics from local history broaden the display. An annual exhibition may give particular people or themes extra attention. Check the current programme if you are coming for a specific angle.

A seasonal museum

Het Sterkenhuis is part of what Kranenburgh offers, but has its own address and season. In 2026 regular opening runs up to and including 25 October. Occasional closures due to the weather can also occur, so check the visitor information shortly before you set off.

Before you go

Use the information for Het Sterkenhuis itself; outside the season this museum is closed.
