Nonke Buusjke builds a village around the year 1900

Half-timbered houses, a village shop and farm implements form an open-air museum in the Schinveldse Bossen about rural life in South Limburg.

Plan your visit ↗

The cottages are fully furnished

Compare kitchen, workspace and bedroom in terms of material and function. Ask which objects were originally used locally and which were collected later.

Tools before mechanisation

See how people, animals and simple implements worked together. Choose one task and have the movements it required explained without a working machine.

The village square ties it together

The open-air setting links buildings, shop and catering. Keep a distinction between museum furnishings, event venue and present-day facilities.

Before you go

From Easter Monday to the last Sunday of October, every Sunday 12.00–17.00. Groups by appointment on Wednesday and Saturday 13.00–17.00. The village square is more accessible than the authentic buildings; ask in advance which rooms can be reached.
