Het Oude Brandspuithuis: more than a fire brigade collection

Het Oude Brandspuithuis in Serooskerke combines local history with subjects relating to the fire brigade, ambulance service, archaeology and mourning. The former fire station provides a recognisable setting for part of this offering.

Plan your visit ↗

Trying out a role

According to the programme, children can ‘turn out’ as firefighters or ambulance crew. Ask which hands-on elements are available and how they suit the age and interests of your group.

Bringing in the village

The history and archaeology of Serooskerke broaden the visit beyond the emergency services. See how the presentation links local subjects and what explanation is given for the different themes.

A different tone

A playful activity and a subject such as mourning do not call for the same approach. Take time to decide, section by section, how much attention suits the people you are visiting with.

Before you go

Wednesday afternoon is given as the regular opening; more days may be open during holiday periods. Check the current holiday weeks and the visitor address on the Torenstraat before you set off.
