Oudheidkamer Texel: a small house with different rooms

The Oudheidkamer in Den Burg presents a historic house with box beds, a raised room (opkamer) and a cellar. The herb garden and temporary exhibition complement the indoor visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Reading a house

Do not just walk from object to object; also pay attention to how the rooms connect. The furnishings help you ask questions about living in a smaller house. That way a box bed or opkamer takes on meaning within the whole.

A different subject upstairs

The temporary exhibition is on the upper floor, while the herb garden awaits outside. These different parts do not require the same physical effort. Decide in advance what is manageable for your group and ask which presentation can be seen downstairs.

A historic building has limitations

The house is not accessible for wheelchairs or mobility scooters, and the stairs to the upper floor are steep. Being unsteady on your feet can also make the visit difficult. The museum closes in winter and is not open on Sundays and public holidays.

Before you go

Bear in mind the steep stairs and limited accessibility; check the winter closure.
