One room, many functions
See how different everyday activities are given a place in the interior. What strikes you about the available space and the furnishings? View the house on its own scale, without attributing to its occupants the same wishes for a home as your own.
Antje Tuijnman as a starting point
The explanation about Antje Tuijnman links the house to an occupant’s story. Read which memories and details are told. This keeps the house more than a collection of old things or merely an unusually small building.
Outside, there is more space
The picnic garden offers a different view: the Eilandspolder and windmills form the setting of the house. Educational boat trips are also offered. These need planning of their own and are not an automatic part of a short visit.
Before you go
The interior has limited capacity. Check the remaining Sundays of the season and arrange other visits or a boat trip in advance.
