Vreeburg combines town farm and carriage hall

A seventeenth-century farmhouse shows domestic life around 1900, while the hall behind it houses authentic carriages belonging to Westfriese Folklore.

The farmhouse as a household

Look at the cowshed, living quarters and everyday objects as a chain of work and life. Ask what originally belongs to the building.

The carriage as a vehicle

Compare two carriages in terms of suspension, seating and function. A show carriage had different requirements from everyday transport.

Two levels of accessibility

The carriage hall is fully accessible; the farmhouse only partially. Ask in advance which route suits your group, so that you can see both parts as far as possible.

Before you go

In September and October the museum is open Wednesday to Saturday 13:30–16:30. Check on which days the carriage hall and the tea room are both available.
