Oranjemuseum Nieuwe Haghuis: the royal house alongside Twente farm antiques

Plates, glasses, coins, books and paintings relating to the House of Orange stand in Diepenheim alongside objects from rural life in Twente.

Plan your visit ↗

Orange on everyday objects

A portrait or a commemorative date can appear on many materials. Compare one plate, one glass and one coin, and see how shape and function influence the image.

Farm antiques as a second line

The Twente collection calls for a different context than court memorabilia. Look for tools or household items with clear signs of use, and read up on their origin before calling them regional.

Past the castles

A coach tour past six castles can be booked as an add-on. That is a separate group activity with a guide, and not automatically part of museum admission.

Before you go

A seasonal museum, open three afternoons a week. Groups larger than 25 can arrange visits outside the season; occasional closures are listed on the website. The castle tour must be booked separately.
