Vroeger en Nu reads Driebergen from the Poortgebouw

The local historical society manages a collection and exhibitions on Driebergen-Rijsenburg, its residents and built heritage, in the Poortgebouw.

Plan your visit ↗

A building by the cemetery

The society's base on the Traaij stands next to the old public cemetery. View the Poortgebouw as a heritage building in its own right, and ask which of its original functions are still recognisable.

Changing village stories

Exhibitions may highlight people, streets or events. Start with one clearly dated photo or map and compare it with the surroundings outside today.

Heritage beyond the centre

The foundation also works to protect dozens of nationally listed monuments (rijksmonumenten) and more than two hundred municipally listed monuments. This work extends beyond the exhibition rooms and can become visible through talks or Monumentendag (Heritage Open Days).

Before you go

Regular opening is Saturday afternoon only; visits outside that time are only possible by appointment.
