The oldest part of the building that houses Museum Bakkerij Mendels dates to 1689; a second section was added in the nineteenth century. Bakers worked there from 1792 to 1960. The last, Hendrikus Mendels, baked rye bread in an oven fired with brushwood and peat.
The bakery museum recreates a bakery and shop. Its objects include bread boxes, an old counter, a hanging “snake” for bags, a proving cabinet, dough trough, bread peels and rye-bread tins.
