Wevershuis: home weaving on the Zaanse Schans, now closed

The Wevershuis on the Zaanse Schans is a reconstruction of a home weaver’s setting. The venue is temporarily closed to visitors; a new visiting schedule has not been confirmed.

Plan your visit ↗

Living amid the work

The subject shows how living and weaving were combined in one setting. The furnishings with several looms make that relationship easy to picture in space. It is a reconstructed display, not a historical household that has remained unchanged.

Cloth as a work process

Weaving sailcloth and windmill sailcloth are among the Wevershuis’s demonstration subjects. Watching a loom can help you understand the relationship between thread and cloth. During the current closure, however, this is not an available visitor programme.

Wait for the reopening first

Other museum guides sometimes still show a normal weekly schedule. That conflicts with the explicit temporary closure in the Schans information. Only plan this workshop once the manager announces a new opening, even if other Schans venues are open.

Before you go

Temporarily closed; old Tuesday–Sunday hours are not a current option for visiting.
