Historische Verbrandingsmotoren: engineering that deserves attention

At Stichting Historische Verbrandingsmotoren in Papendrecht, a collection of working engines takes centre stage. Names such as Werkspoor, Kromhout and Brons offer points of reference, but even without knowing the makes there is plenty to see in the constructions.

Plan your visit ↗

From part to whole

See how the different parts fit together. Explanations about drive and use can help you understand a large machine as a coherent whole.

Running machinery

The foundation presents its collection as working heritage. Ask which engines may be demonstrated during your visit; a regular opening does not guarantee that every machine will be running.

Tuesday as visiting day

There is a fixed Tuesday afternoon opening. Groups make an appointment, while open days and events are announced separately and may have a different programme.

Before you go

Confirm the exact visiting address in Papendrecht in advance. Also ask about accessibility, and follow the instructions on site concerning the machinery.
